Hundreds convened to celebrate the restoration of 'Fr. Benavides Park' which sits across the street from St. Timothy Catholic Church. Having already leveraged $500 thousand for a master plan which includes a playground, basketball court, lighting, bathrooms and jogging path, COPS / Metro Alliance leveraged a commitment from Councilmember Gonzales for $500 thousand more. The Vicar General of the Catholic Archdiocese "gave his enthusiastic support to the agenda."
In photo, a boy holds up a sign that reads "Speed Bumps on El Paso St" while Ms. Alma Mendez from San Juan de los Lagos (behind the podium) recounts how they got those speed bumps with the help of COPS / Metro, in a campaign to protect the children enrolled in Religious Education.
