Become a Pico Promenade supporter

This is an invitation to those who know, love and use the Pico Promenade − stand up and be part of a wonderful opportunity to keep a healthy north-south walkway great, full with flowers, butterflies, small birds and wildlife.

If you don’t have time each week to help, find a small way to join others in making this a viable event place; come up with great ideas to extend Heyneman Park, which is accessible off the Pico's Ash Street bridge. Recommend to leaders to have safety lights and crosswalks so this shines as a special gem.

Let's get walking and find ways to get well-lit paths and safe crosswalks over Fallbrook Street, Beech, College, Ash, and Elder. Many moms and babies, as well as dog walkers, use this passageway each day.

Keep it open for use by your family members (kids in strollers, animal friends) or simply make it a lunch break stroll to the market or reduce your carbon footprint by walking. Do write the paper and let others know you want to help be part of "Perking Up Pico." Become a Pico Promenade supporter whether you become a Pico partner, stroll and clean up any litter or report graffiti and conditions along the pathways.

To find out more about it, contact Jackie Heyneman, chairperson of Save Our Forest, at [email protected] or (760) 728-5395.

To all those who are already helping to perk up the Pico, thanks so much for your time, vigilance, and care.
