2 <br />SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />The Community Park site is situated in the easternmost <br />portion of the Bernal Property; south of Bernal Avenue, <br />northeast of Valley Avenue, and west of the Union Pacific <br />Railroad tracks (Figure 1). The Park is to be situated <br />completely within the area specified by the 2004 “Initiative to <br />Save Our Community Park” (Appendix), with limited shared <br />parking adjacent to the “grand meadow.” <br /> <br />Site terrain is flat, with the exception of a small north/south <br />drainage canal. Existing vegetation within the Park area <br />includes a mature cottonwood tree in the central portion, <br />several willows along the north/south drainage canal, and <br />cultivated feed crops (red oat hay and alfalfa) for leased <br />commercial hay production. Most of the site has historically <br />been cultivated such that native vegetation has not been able <br />to re-establish. Annual grasses and forbs known to grow on <br />the site include wild oat, filaree, plantain, wild radish, and <br />black mustard. <br /> <br /> <br /> BERNAL COMMUNITY PARK AREA: Looking south from Bernal <br />Avenue. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
