Palmdale seeking input from residents for Melville J. Courson Park

by The AV Times Staff • January 22, 2021

PALMDALE — The city of Palmdale will host the third of three virtual community meetings on Zoom on Wednesday, Jan. 27, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.,  to present the final concept review of the features residents would like to see at Melvin J. Courson park, located at 10th Street East, between Palmdale Blvd. and Ave. R. The public is invited to attend online.

Registration for the meeting is available at https://bit.ly/3oCVrMa .

The Courson project will be submitted for state and/or county grant funds for construction. The City is looking to renovate the existing park by developing new recreational features and enhancing other major park features.

“There have been many exciting improvements in our downtown area in and around Courson Park including the Courson Arts Colony,” said Palmdale Mayor Steve Hofbauer. “We’ve got a new pool and pool house, and we’re continuing to make improvements to our City’s longest serving park.”

“Join us as we take a look at the final concept of the exciting changes and renovations coming to Courson Park,” said Palmdale Mayor Pro Tem Laura Bettencourt. “Your input is welcome and encouraged.”

For more information, call 661-267-5611.

    Give our children somewhere to go and have fun in a safe environment . Give our children something to be proud of in our own community . let the city or police department work together to asign a security detail or a safety booth inside the park with camars with bike patrol safety officers . their presents along will stop the bad behavior from coming to the park . let make all of Palmdale beautiful from our parks and roads . we need , love , unity and patience to improve our city . East Palmdale should be a reflection of West Palmdale in every way .

    To use a Laura Bettencoutt line of thinking…. “why should we care when we don’t live on that side of town”

    How about building the park on the Westside at 35th and Towncenter Dr?
    Been in planning stages for 10+ years.

      Lived 52 years Palmdale ! Kids need out door activities . Park has great memories. Maybe extra safety patrols ?

    I recommend inclusion of a LOT enhanced CPTED in the project. Courson Park ain’t exactly known for its safety. This could help to change that.

      They just spent Millions on the new Pool and Rec. building and you want to close it down? That doesn’t make sense.

        Or……. it didn’t make sense to spend millions to upgrade a facility in an unsafe area. Either works.
