DUBLIN, CA — America’s Backyard is about to get even greener. Last Wednesday, Sept. 18, Dublin leaders gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony on Forest Park, a two-acre park located off Central Parkway that will be the city’s 27th park. The upcoming park, which is expected to be complete in around a year, will feature 140 new trees, fitness stations, a shaded group picnic area, two age-specific playgrounds, and a multi-use sports court that will include the city’s first futsal court.
