Parks and Recreation State Environmental Award for Community Parks

Located at the northern edge of the Verdugo Canyon Community and the southern edge of the North Glendale Community in the City of Glendale, Montrose Community Park is 15 acres of multi-faceted passive and active recreational open space. Initially, 50% of the site of Montrose Community Park was a debris basin. Large amounts of soil were required for compaction and regrading in order to create a usable recreation area with a primary goal of serving different users and their needs. Working with the City of Glendale and taking into account the needs of community groups, Lawrence R. Moss and Associates provided design and working drawings which included two playing fields with adjustable baselines which are used by little league and adult city league teams, a tot lot, meandering paths for biking and skating, tennis courts and a basketball court.
