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