Dorothy Erskine Park is located near the northeast border of Sunnyside on a hill overlooking Glen Park.  On sunny days, you can find solitude, views of Mt. Diablo and fluttering anise swallowtail butterflies.  The wildflowers are blooming and we need help removing the invasive grasses that crowd them out.

The Sunnyside Neighborhood Association was instrumental in securing this land for the community back in 1978 and is now supporting the Friends of Dorothy Erskine Park with their efforts to improve the park and restore its native grassland habitat.For more information about the park and its history, see this wonderful blog post by Amy O’ Hair of the Sunnyside History Project.
