Councilmember LaBonge Applauds Upgrades at DeLongpre Park

Councilmember LaBonge with City Engineer Gary Lee Moore celebrated with members of the community

The Department of Recreation and Parks accompanied Councilmember Tom LaBonge in celebrating momentous improvements at DeLongpre Park in Hollywood. A new fenced-in play area and a well-lit walkway are among the many welcomed improvements for park visitors.
“We’ve been working to revitalize the spirit of this park,” Councilmember LaBonge said. “The playground and new walkway will engage members of the community and make it a focal point of the neighborhood.”
Deteriorating asphalt and poorly lit walkways at the park have long been a subject of concern for surrounding residents. Councilmember LaBonge, the Department of Recreation and Parks and the design staff at Architectural Division of the Bureau of Engineering in the Department of Public Works shared a vision to highlight the natural beauty of the park while creating a secure area for children and walkers. New landscaping and perimeter fencing were also part of the renovation.
