Robert Hixson’s Summer Journal

The Robert Crown Beach Park across the way comes alive. First, there were big tractors. It looked like a really big job clearing the beach. In a period of several years, the shoreline has lost a lot of sand through erosion. It took several trucks of sand. They also paved the parking lot, and patched the roads. Now, the road leading into the park is all new.
There are two items that will be interesting to see what the City of Alameda will do about. The lawn on this side of the park across from our nursing home has some large dry sections. They also lost about three trees that seemed to be useful for repelling bugs. I wonder what the City of Alameda will do about it.
Over all, the Robert Crown Beach Park is beautiful. We are very lucky to have it right across from our nursing home. A lot of young people come out there to play land and water sports. The San Francisco Bay brings a refreshing breeze our way, and the park is great for taking walks and picnics.
