At last, our Pocket Park is taking shape! Dirt, deep holes, and dry wells are all you see there (as of April 16), but soon low concrete block walls, oak trees, and plants will appear. The community is invited to come help make a California sublime landscape rise from the leftover triangle of land formed when Marengo was realigned in 1965. . . . More from Chairperson Michele Zack.
