Members of the Del Amo Action Committee – the community group that advocated for the park – said the grand opening is currently earmarked for late November. “Kids need to have a place to play,” said Tracy Baughn, a 55 year neighborhood resident, who is eager for the park to open. “They have no place to ride their bikes, because people don’t care in this neighborhood, they’re speeding all the time.”
The Del Amo Action Committee was formed in 1994 due to community concerns with environmental conditions and rates of local illness. The organization is currently headed by a powerful duo known as the two Cynthias – Cynthia Babich and Cynthia Medina.
