The City of Palo Alto is inviting the public to review and provide input on proposed improvements for Cameron Park at a meeting on Wednesday, April 1 at 6:30pm at the Matadero Room at Mitchell Park Community Center.

We posted last May about proposed improvements to both Werry and Cameron parks here in College Terrace.

If you want to learn more about these improvements, be sure to attend the city’s meeting on April 1.
