‘Fall is Full’ at the Railyard Park and Plaza! Trees and shrubs are turning beautiful reds and yellows, and fall events such as our ‘Harvest Festival’ for local schools and our Winter Gardening workshop drew many to the Railyard Park.
The community 'Waffle Garden' produces a lot of produce and flowers this fall for all to enjoy.
Community members participate in a Winter Gardening workshop at the community 'Waffle Garden' in October 2010. Participants learned how to grow food over the winter with cold frames and hoop houses. For more information, contact the Stewards at 505-982-6975, or at info@railyardpark.org.
On September 26 a community block party was held at the Railyard Plaza. The event featured free music and a dance party on the Railyard Plaza at the Water Tower. Handcrafted beer and Green Chile food specials at 2nd Street Brewery’s new Railyard location were also enjoyed. Two incredible bands – Mexican Institute of Sound, Mexico City-based electronic music project fusing traditional and cutting edge contemporary sounds and B-Side Players, San Diego’s hot Latin funk, rock, jazz and hip-hop sensation with their new album Fire in the Youth played at the event. It was multi-cultural, bilingual, energetic and fun for all ages!
