SIGNS OF ROBINSON PARK EXPANSION

PIn preparation for expansion of Robinson Park in Pasadena by 2.5 acres, the former Highland Plastics Company building at 965 N. Fair Oaks Ave. is being demolished this month.

Approved by Pasadena City Council in 2002, the Robinson Park Master Plan includes a 9¼-acre park with a multipurpose athletic field, parking lot, restrooms, concession buildings and energy-efficient lighting for sports fields.

Plans also call for a synthetic turf field that will provide a state-of-the-art playing surface while conserving water and reducing maintenance costs.

The council will consider funding for this next phase of the master plan during the annual review of the citywide capital improvement program in the next few months.

Robinson Park is located at 1981 N. Fair Oaks Ave. For more information call
