Volunteers cleared brush around the park to make is visible from the road. In August, Pop Carr was part of a Neighborhood Park Fix-It were finishing improvements include graffiti removal and repainting, re-seeding of disturbed landscape and vegetation thinning around the entrances of the park to improve positive park use, safety, and visibility were completed.
