Document Description
The WCA is proposing to develop a park along the San Gabriel River on the northern portion of the former Woodland Duck Farm site. The proposed Phase I project includes development of a new 37-acre park, including a 150-space parking lot at Proctor St. entrance, a 14-acre riparian corridor, a 4-acre native plant nursery, a 2-wildflower meadow, a 2.6-acre neighborhood park east of the Proctor St. entrance, and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible meandering interior trail (0.4 miles) that connects the Proctor St. entrance to the wildflower meadow and river overlook, renovation of the existing farm house to create a visitor center with an amphitheater/outdoor classroom, 1.5-acre demonstration wetland and freshwater marsh, 100-space parking lot at Rail Ave. entrance, maintenance road improvements, Valley Blvd. sidewalk improvements, and expanded equestrian facility. The proposed park would provide facilities for passive recreation, improve the natural habitat, improve water quality, improve flood management, and connect the community to more open space.
