Liberty Park The proposed park project, which is being called âHanford New Parkâ for now, is part of an $8.5 million grant application through the California Department of Parks and Recreationâs Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program to create new parks and new recreation opportunities in underserved communities across California. The parks department held six in-person meetings with community members, conducted a social media campaign and partnered with the local high school district to seek input on what people would want in their dream park. That input led to a conceptual design for the proposed 40-acre community and regional park, which would be located near the Florinda Street and 9 1/4 Avenue intersection on the east side of town.
