La Mesa Parks

By Dave Allan

As your city councilmember, I will work to ensure completion of the project at Parkway Middle School and Briercrest Park, maintain all city parks for the community to enjoy, and keep recreation fees low so all citizens in the community can participate in activities.

Porter Park, conveniently located close to downtown La Mesa, houses a vibrant Senior-Adult Recreation Center. From social activities to bridge and square dancing, adults and seniors gather to enjoy each other's company and keep fit.

La Mesa's newest park project is a joint effort including the city, the La Mesa-Spring Valley School District, the Challenge Center, the La Mesa Sports Council, Grossmont Hospital, and numerous businesses and individuals throughout East County. The Junior Seau Sports Complex will include: football and soccer fields at Parkway Middle School; the Challenge Center and administration and library facilities for Grossmont Hospital located at Briercrest Park; and an upgrade of the East County YMCA and addition of skateboard park at La Mesita Park. These facilities will offer fields for "club" sports as well as Little League and Pop Warner, and will be a way that La Mesa can demonstrate its commitment to families and youth sports.
