Creek Park on Thursday, July 26 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. This free event offers residents the opportunity to stroll through beautiful Creek Park with family and friends and listen to different musical performances from three live bands, enjoy delicious food on sale and take part in games. Residents and guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to enjoy the evening’s festivities. Stroll in the Park musical entertainment will include Island Caribbean music from Upstream, Doo Wop from Kulayd, and the Mariachi Espectacular sponsored by Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn. The City of La Mirada is working on a Master Plan to improve Creek Park. The popular community park sits on about 11 acres along La Mirada Creek. Walking, jogging and relaxing on the grassy banks are favorite visitor activities. Built in the 1970’s, the park is in need of renovations to improve bridge structures, enhance accessibility, and increase lighting. The proposed project involves the rehabilitation and naturalization of the existing Creek Park through the implementation of the Master Plan which involves reconfiguration of the La Mirada Creek to return the flood flows to more natural patterns, upgraded park amenities integrated within the existing park facilities, reconstruction of the five wooden bridges, and relocation and expansion of restrooms. While the proposed project would not result in any substantial changes to the existing on-site intensity, use, or activities, the Master Plan includes a variety of improvements such as spur paths leading to the naturalized creek and its bridges, recreational hardscape and softscape features to improve the functionality of the pathways, new exercise circuit stations, upgraded amphitheater, improved parking lots, better connections to the existing equestrian facilities, fitness and play nodes, garden, picnic areas, benches, and shelters. “Parks, trails, and open space add to the quality of life in La Mirada,” says City Manager Jeff Boynton. “Creek Park is an exceptional amenity and we want to ensure it remains a quality park for residents to enjoy.” Creek Park is located at 12021 Santa Gertrudes Avenue.
