The neighborhood has historically used the parcel for public access to the park, and it has been mowed and maintained by the Parks Deparhnent since the mid-1980s. This is the only access to the park for most of the neighborhood to the west. The Community Development Department indicated the acquisition is consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
