The winner for the Downtown Area Beautification Award is Dynamic Energy Crystals. This sweet, well-maintained property at 21 Princess Street is the perfect bookend to the downtown area. The sidewalk landscaping truly beautifies the surrounding businesses with its vibrant flowers which are a nice contrast to the pale blue building.

The Bay Model wins Beautification Award
September 21, 2019
Sausalito Beautiful confered Chris Gallagher and the Bay Model Garden the 2019 Beautification Award for Secret Garden. This much deserved award is for the new native pollinator garden, which was planted by the Marin chapter of the California Native Plant Society but was the brainchild of Chris Gallagher. The garden is filled with different wildlife habitats for song birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. It’s also a great place for locals to go for inspiration in their own gardens since all the plants are identified with markers.

Park Renovation Update
September 18, 2019
Attendees of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting were given an update on the three major park renovations:
MLK Park: Irrigation, hydroseeding, and hydromulching is complete but must stay off the grass for 2-3 months. Work on the ballfield will begin soon. The encircling walking path has been officially measured at 0.335 miles.
Dunphy Park: Parking Lot should open in early October. 1000 cu yds of “dirty” soil must be removed and new soil brought in. In October, then planting and irrigation will commence. Hydroseeding will be done at the end of October or early November. Then everyone must stay off the grass for 2-3 months.
Southview Park: This project hasn’t started in order to focus resources on Dunphy (it’s the same contractor). In fact, it may not get started until after the rains stop.
