LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Parks, Recreation and Trails Division of the Lake County Public Services Department is inviting the public to participate in workshops to help plan the design of a “pocket park.”

The park will be located on property in Middletown owned by Sutter Health and proposed to be leased to the county for park development.

An in-person open house to gather public input and ideas for the pocket park will be held on Wednesday, June 11, from 3 to 6 p.m.

Community members can stop by the Middletown Square gazebo, located in front of the library and senior center, to share their ideas.

A second meeting with a presentation by the County of Lake and GSM Landscape Architects Inc. will take place on Thursday, June 12, at 6 p.m. online via Zoom.

Public Services staff and representatives from GSM will be available to listen to your ideas and feedback at both workshops.
