<br />20 <br /> <br />streets to expand the size of the future 10th and Flower Park project. The expanded park <br />boundaries will create a recreational amenity in a “park gap” area, serve four adjacent <br />neighborhoods, and create a park that was identified in the Parks Master Plan. <br /> Gerardo Mouet Park <br />In 2019, the City submitted a grant application for the Statewide Park Development and <br />Community Revitalization Program and was awarded $3.6 million for a new park to be <br />constructed at the corner of Standard and McFadden avenues. <br />In December of 2023, the City Council <br />approved abandonment of a portion of an <br />alley, a general plan amendment, and a zone <br />change application to allow for the <br />construction of the park to begin. The park <br />will include amenities catered to serve the <br />surrounding community and will include a <br />skate park, multi-purpose basketball court, <br />playground and fitness equipment, site <br />furnishings, decorative signage, <br />landscaping, irrigation, and a security <br />system. The park will provide a much- <br />needed recreational and outdoor space in <br />the Minnie Street area. <br />The Parks, Recreation and Community <br />Services Agency solicited and reviewed of <br />200 naming suggestions for this new park <br />and after consideration chose Gerardo Mouet <br />Park after former Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services Agency Director and Interim City Manager. <br />The Groundbreaking Ceremony was officially held on January 27, 2024 with the park <br />opening date set for winter 2024. <br /> <br />»Above: Photo from the Gerardo Mouet Park Groundbreaking. <br />»Above: Site Plan for Gerardo Mouet Park. <br />
