Robert Burns Park Ribbon-Cutting

Kimi and Dora Pak,(Clockwise from girl in pink) Katie and Oscar Trevino, Windsor Square Association President Mike Genewick and Councilmember LaBonge officially inaugurate the new play equipment at Robert Burns Park.

Councilmember LaBonge joined Windsor Square neighbors at the official re-opening of the Robert Burns Park play area on Monday. The upgrades to this popular pocket park on Beverly Boulevard included a new play structure, benches, security lighting and security cameras.
The Council Office worked with neighbors and parents of park-using children to identify new elements to best suit the community. After months of planning, a new play structure was installed that has swings, slides, climbing and swinging features that children love.
“Every time I drive by this park, it is full of playing children,” Councilmember LaBonge said. “The community has been pleased with the upgrades and the park looks terrific. I’m pleased.” The new features cost about $175,000 and were funded through Quimby funds, garnered through new condo development in the neighborhood.
More upgrades are planned: the shaded picnicking area is next on the agenda for replacement. "Kids love this park," said neighborhood mom Katie Trevino. "There something fun to do for kids of all ages."
