Fallbrook park receives $2 per-square-foot rebate to upgrade landscape

FALLBROOK – The pocket park on Beech Street and South Mission Road, known as Jackie Heyneman Park, got a facelift recently.

Some of the money that paid for the improvements came thanks to a grant the Fallbrook Public Utility District helped secure for the park.

More grant funding is available to residents and businesses in town who want to tear out their thirsty grass and replace it with more sustainable landscaping. The funds are provided by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. Anyone in the county can apply.
