Groundbreaking Set for Beverly Gardens Park

City plans lily pond and garden restoration groundbreaking as same day as Rodeo del los Caballos.

Shovels hit the dirt in Beverly Gardens Park on Oct. 13 hours before Rodeo de los Caballos kicks off to recognize the work commencing for the city's landscape restoration project.

The city council approved funding $100,000 to restore the lily pond at Beverly Gardens Park in August. Construction is slated for a Jan. 20, 2014 completion.

Aside from restoring the lily pond, other notable restoration tasks and notes include:

  • Restoring the circular fountain
  • New plantings at the water features
  • Retaining the photo opportunity area
  • Bollard lighting on the pathways
  • Existing trees to remain in place
  • Protect the Moreton Bay Fig tree
  • Relocate the the Mediterranean fan palm to the Palm Garden
The Friends of Beverly Gardens Park spearheaded the efforts to restore the 1.9-mile long park, which is located on the block between Beverly Drive and Canon Drive.
