Tierra Buena Park Association Dedicates Improvements Funded by Neighborhood Grant Program

Neighbors living near the Tierra Buena Park, 57th Avenue and Tierra Buena Lane, have a newly renovated park, as the result of two neighborhood grants with a combined total of $104, 114.

The Citizen’s Advisory Commission on Neighborhoods awarded the funds to the neighborhood. The first grant provided upgrades to the park, including a shade structure, two picnic tables and playground equipment. The second grant paid for a rubberized surface on the playground, which will enhance safety and greater access for those who are disabled.

The neighbors will be recognized for their efforts to improve their neighborhood during a dedication on Saturday, May 31 at 10:30 a.m. at the park.

Tierra Buena Park is a registered neighborhood, located between Carol Ann Way and Beck Lane, 57th and 58th avenues. It lists 34 households in the neighborhood, which was constructed in 1974.

The Neighborhood Partnership Office administers a grant program that funds revitalization projects twice a year to assist neighborhoods more than 15 years old. Citizen participation and involvement are key components of the program.
