In <br />2012, the Madison Park Neighborhood Association met with staff to plan the development of a <br />community garden in Madison Park. The Neighborhood Association, Santa Ana Unified School <br />District and City staff agreed to locate this community garden on the northwest corner of the <br />park and allow access to the school property. <br />The community garden improvements will include: the renovation of the basketball court; an <br />addition of a half basketball court; and the installation of sports and security lighting, a garden tool <br />shed, raised garden beds and fencing. A portion of the school property will be used as the garden <br />teaching area. During school hours students will have access to the garden and the half basketball <br />court and the community will have access during non-school hours. The community garden and <br />sports improvements are budgeted in the 2012/13 allocation of Community Development Block <br />Grant funds. The recommended agreement will maintain the provisions of the 1977 agreement and <br />add the details of the new maintenance, operations and accessibility arrangements of the <br />community garden and half basketball court. <br />25B-1
