PACIFIC PALISADES, CA Potrero Canyon Park will officially be named George Wolfberg Park at Potrero Canyon, in honor of the late civil servant who died of cancer in February 2020. The Los Angeles Board of Recreation and Parks approved the name on January 21.
The 46-acre park has been in the works since 1986, when the Department of Recreation and Parks instructed a group to look at possible ways to stabilize the canyon and create a park. Fill grading began in 1988, but stopped in 2004 due to a lack of funding.
City Council would later adopt a motion instructing Department of Recreation and Parks to finish the stabilization efforts. The grading phase was eventually finished in August 2020, with crews now working on the necessary landscaping and irrigation to complete the park.
