Unsolicited comment from an East Bay Public Plaza Patron
“We have spent numerous summer evenings splashing around for hours. We are very lucky to have the stream and want to thank whoever is responsible for maintaining it. Whoever designed it was a very bright person – the layout, the depth, the curved rocks and animals, all beautifully and safely done! We know these things don’t come for free and just wanted to express our sincere appreciation. Thank you!

“It’s nice to have (landscape) architect’s working for us that care about the maintenance end of the project”
