Park by park, neighborhood by neighborhood
I believe our parks are where we gather with our families to picnic, where we watch our children learn about friendship and teamwork, where, even as adults we go to play and shed the stresses of everyday life. Places like Cornell and Slifer Parks are the moorings of our community. The lights will stay on, the water will continue to flow, and the landscaping will remain tidy; but the landmarks that define Discovery Bay as a community - the places we congregate to appreciate nature, sport, and each other - are valuable in ways that can't be counted with dollar signs. We have to be sure we don't allow them to be neglected, or our community will lose what anchors us together.

I am proud of the work I have done on the Board to improve our parks. From the new water play structure in Ravenswood to the new Basketball court in Regatta Park, I have been an outspoken advocate for building a better community in Discovery Bay.
