CPA Helps Locals Set Sights on Restoring Site For Community Use

11/4/2016

Community Parks Alliance believes in creating strong nurturing relationships between the land and people, and that it is fundamental to fostering community health. CPA Executive Director Joy Lyndes is pictured here at right chatting with like-minded volunteer Katherine Blakespear, a member of Encinitas city council, and her family following a recent volunteer work party to clean up the Pacific View Elementary School site.

Encinitas Arts Culture and Ecology Alliance is leading the ongoing cleanups as part of its mission to revitalize the school, closed since 2003, and reopen the campus as a community arts and ecology center.  

Lyndes, a Landscape Architect, provided EACEA with a conceptual site plan for Pacific View's property. The plan, pictured at left, shows the site transformed by perimeter gardens representative of local agriculture history — from natives to fruit groves, flowers fields and hothouses, to the current focus on organic vegetables.
