Doerr Park Projects

Ongoing Projects at Doerr Park

Ongoing: Water trees and flower bed

Each week neighbor volunteers water the 15 trees and the flower bed that we planted at Doerr Park.

Ongoing: Trash pick-up

We have volunteers who regularly pick up trash at Doerr Park to keep it looking great.

Ongoing: Dog Poop Bags

Using our BeautifySJ grant funds, we are able to maintain and refill the six dog poop bag dispensers in the park.

We have also been influential in getting two new benches installed by basketball court, damaged picnic tables, BBQ pits, and the drinking fountain replaced by PRNS, and have increased communication with PRNS staff regarding maintenance concerns.
