Dale Risden, Joel Stewart and Bonnie Sherwood accepted this award on behalf of all of the volunteers in JMP during the ceremony at the Joaquin Miller Community Center on Saturday, February 3, 2024. Also honored were volunteers from 12 other groups active in District 4.
Joaquin Miller Park is now home to a new bench next to the Pyramid to Moses. The bench was a generous donation to the park from the Facente Chin family in memory of their young son. Dylan was a 9-year old boy who loved JM Park. He spent much of the pandemic lockdown exploring its trails, mountain biking, playing football in the field and of course climbing the pyramid and waiting for lizards. Dylan was happiest outside and had an early love of reptiles and bugs. Here he got to be with his best friend Miles– the bench is a tribute to their cherished adventures and friendship. He is deeply missed.
Dylan’s last visit to Joaquin Miller Park
The next time you visit the pyramid, you can have a seat and either watch the gorgeous view of the bay, or turn to face Joaquin Miller’s stone structure and watch for lizards as Dylan was fond of doing
