Park Projects

The Jean Sweeney Open Space Park is a very large project. In fact, many small projects will be planned thoughout the development. Donations of services, materials, and funding will be needed to acomplish each phase.

Projects will be listed here with an 'Active" indication for projects presently being worked on. Donations may be directed to a specific project or to the fund in general. Each project will have a 'Project Page' with information specific to that project including estimated costs, a list of donations received through this fund, and a progress report.

• On July 18th, 2017 the construction of the Cross Alameda Trail and the clearing of the entire park started. Construction company McGuire & Hester is doing the work for Phase I to make this into the great 27 acre park Jean Sweeney dreamed about.
