Much of the park is still cleared ground, but even this stage is quite remarkable. Much of the park lands had been the city dump for seventy years. Now West Wetlands Park is the largest environmental revegetation project of its kind in the country. The lady in the photo above is looking at one of the three detailed plan maps. There will be a Natural History Interpretive Center and Museum, an amphitheater, ponds, and the earlier mentioned butterfly and hummingbird gardens. There will be walkways alongside the Colorado River. It is a truly ambitious project which has been visualized, one that will give much prestige to Yuma city, as well as beauty and recreation for her inhabitants.
From across the river, our California neighbors say ''Thank You, Yuma'', in a large banner.
