The City of Bell Gardens completed the construction of the Julia
Russ Asmus Park (Jaboneria Shull Park) in August 2000. The $875,000
project was funded through the City, Proposition A, Mountains Recreation
and Conservation Authority, and the Regional Park and Open Space
District. The park features recreational amenities and will eventually
be linked to the Los Angeles River through bikeways and a potential
pedestrian/bikeway bridge. The City of Bell Gardens also plans to make
improvements to the City's Veterans Park and J.A. Ford Park and to
develop other open space opportunities.
