WASHINGTON PARK ASSETS (1974-2006) Please find attached 3 maps (1974, 1994-95, 2003) of Washington Park. The maps show the fixed assets in the park, including trees. The 1974 map was drawn by the Park Department Director. The second map was done by an interested volunteer. It is the least reliable and was done without consultation. The latest map was prepared as part of an Eagle Scout project, which was supervised by Parks Supervisor Bob Disco, who updated it to include plantings through 2006. None of the maps included numerical inventories. We are in the process of doing a count of the trees, which will be kept current in the future. At the drawing of the first map the facilities included a bocce court and a lawn bowling green. By the early eighties neither was in use. The frame of the bocce court had deteriorated, and the lawn bowling court was not visible. The frame of the bocce court was vandalized on multiple occasions. It was removed in the late 80s. In the mid to late 90s Burlingame Youth Baseball Association went to Council and received permission to build a Batting Cage in Washington Park. The group was and is responsible for maintenance of the batting cage. Labor and materials were donated for the construction. Several small trees were removed to accommodate the building site. One tree was somewhat unusual=a Catalina Ironwood. The Parks Division secured a new Ironwood tree and planted it in the main picnic area. Several new picnic tables have been added over the years. The tables were placed in chipped areas; no lawn area was lost to the installations. Two new tables and a barbeque were added, for example, to the area near the Corporation Yard. ' That area can now be `-' reserved for picnics': In the 90s a well, generator, and water storage tank were installed in the Park Corporation Yard. The project was initiated by Public Works, which managed the project to its conclusion. The goal was to use well water for park irrigation and to have it available for others uses, e.g. contractors. A number of significant trees have been lost in Washington Park.The following descriptions are not intended to be exhaustive. Some of the trees were casualties of storms. In 1982 several trees were blowndown, including'a large Douglas fir and two eucalyptus trees on Burlingame Avenue. In the intervening years there were additional storm tree failures: Significant trees were Monterey Pines near the tennis courts, a fir in the Front Park, an additional Douglas fir in the Back Park, and the very large Pin Oak in the Front Park near the tennis courts. An ash tree east of the playground suffered a split top in the 90s and had to be removed. Additionally a number of less significant trees were storm casualties —either blown down or crushed by falling limbs (Front Park Horsechestnut) or failed trees. Several trees had extensive decay and were removed as a safety precaution (Catalpa in Front Park, Monterey Pines in the picnic area and near the children's playground). The 1974 map shows a line of poplar trees extending north 'along the left field line on the baseball field. Only a few of the trees remained in early 80s. All were being topped routinely by PG&E contractors for the main trunk line that was above them. The last of the trees were removed by the early 90s. The map also shows a collection of holly trees in the back park; only three were present in the early 80s. Several significant trees have been removed over the last three decades due to disease. The most noticeable loss was the massive Elm tree in the Back Park. That tree contracted Dutch Elm Disease. Despite attempts to remove infected stems and treat it with a fungicide, the tree had to be removed in the late 90s. The specimen Camphordown Elm in the Front Park also succumbed to that disease and structural deterioration. A beautiful Coast Live Oak near the Carriage House died, and its roots exhibited Oak Root Fungus; it was removed in the late 80s. A number of major pines were lost to Pine Pitch Canker. These included a Monterey Pine near the outfield gate in center field, another large Monterey Pine close to the playground (early 90s, tree also had a massive cavity at about 50'), the large Stone Pine (2000) near the basketball court, and the equally large Monterey Pine (2006) along the rear path in the Back Park were among them. All of the trees were monitored until their tops were almost completely dead at which time they were removed (see photos of Stone Pine). A lesser Monterey Pine near the basketball court was also removed due to Pine Pitch Canker this year. With dead, dying, or structurally defective trees one must include the safety of the public among the considerations for removal, particularly with varieties most likely to drop limbs. Two large trees near the employee parking lot were removed in the late 90s due to hazardous structures. A Eucalyptus Viminalis had a radical lean, and a Monterey Pine had co dominant stems, which were joined by included bark. Additionally there were a number of street trees The Parks Division has maintained a very active planting program in Washington Park. Five Arbor Day ceremonies have taken place in Washington Park during the period under discussion. Each ceremony included the planting of 5-7 trees. The Division also receives many requests for memorial plantings, most of which we have been able to accommodate. Our preference has been to plant with trees which will be tall at maturity in order to sustain the impressive canopy of the park. Given that philosophy we have planted native oaks (Valley, Blue, Black), eastern oaks, eastern maples, redwoods,. Deodar cedars, Brisbane boxes, sycamores, Dawn Redwoods, Western Red Cedars, Zelkova, and an Alberta Spruce. We have also planted new ehn varieties which are resistant to Dutch Elm Disease (and look forward to planting an Accolade Elm this spring). Additionally, we have planted numerous trees with a projected moderate canopy.; These include Koelreuterias, Red Horsechestnuts, Sophora japonica, Gingkos, European Hornbeam, Chinese Tallows, Chitalpa, and New Zealand Christmas Trees. Finally, we have planted smaller canopy trees as needed for accents. These include cherry and crabapple varieties. All of the listed trees have been planted over a lengthy period of time. This should assure that the Park maintains diversity of canopy height and tree varieties. We are at a point where planting must take place very judiciously. It will be important not to over plant. In order to thrive the younger trees need light and space to grow vigorously and reach full species size. Similarly it will be important to be watchful that sunny, exposed space remains for various leisure activities, e.g. reading, supervising the play of small children, free play by Summer Camp children, enjoying Music in the Park, informal picnicking, etc. BURLINGAME HIGH SCHOOL iO i9 EO o a 33 33 ad 3 51 7D 7tic 59 12' 35 �2 Li 42 27 54 3;.
