Long Beach, CA ~ On Friday, May 19th, the City of Long Beach celebrated the official opening of Wrigley Greenbelt with a ribbon cutting ceremony. This grant-funded community project provides restoration and preservation of green space in Long Beach's Wrigley Neighborhood along the I-710 freeway.
Mayor Rex Richardson said, "We continue to identify ways to make our parks and open spaces sustainable while also encouraging healthy, active living. The new and improved Wrigley Greenbelt will benefit our community for many years to come."
Located at De Forest Avenue between 26th Way and 34th Street, the Wrigley Greenbelt includes new improvements such as a one-mile walking trail, new picnic tables, and a sustainable design with new landscaping of drought resistant native plants, a new irrigation system, and dry stream beds to improve stormwater runoff. These enhancements will elevate visitor experience and provide the community a place for recreation, exercise and more. New native trees have been planted providing a green buffer to improve air quality while benefiting wildlife and the local ecosystem.
