Mission

A central neighborhood with deep Latino heritage and active public spaces.

A colorful mural adorns a park building near a flat patch of green grass. A black metal gate in the foreground separates the sidewalk from the grass. Residential buildings, trees, and a sunset sky can be seen in the background.
