County Supervisor Dianne Jacob and parks officials held a first-ever “virtual” groundbreaking to mark the start of construction of the long-awaited $16.9 million Lakeside Equestrian Park Wednesday.
The Butterfly Garden at the County’s Lindo Lake Park in Lakeside was built from the ground up two years ago and now it is thriving with life. Plan a visit on your own, from sunrise to sunset, or attend a tour led by a County park ranger.
A County Parks volunteer is making a big impact by barely saying a word. He earned the title of Parks Volunteer of the Year by teaching free tai chi classes for almost 12 years at Lindo Lake Park in Lakeside, and he’s one of about 4,400 volunteers who contributes more than 100,000 service hours to the County Department of Parks and Recreation each year.
