and an additional $1.00 million under the 1996 Bond Act. These
Specified Grant Funds were developed under the provisions of the Safe
Neighborhood Parks Proposition of 1992 and administered through the
Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District. These
Funds will be used to develop the proposed Garvey Avenue Community
Center in the City of Rosemead.
The proposed Garvey Avenue Community Center will be constructed
on approximately 4.4 acres of land located adjacent to the Rio Hondo

designed to accommodate a wide range of events including pre-school
