Terwilliger Parkway Centennial Planning Meeting
Location
Terwilliger Parkway turns 100 years old in 2012. It seems like yesterday.... it was a dirt track denuded of trees and wildlife. Today we have what has been described as the "most significant habitat, scenic, and recreation corridor in the West Hills, if not the entire city." We want to plan a spectacular event to celebrate, inform and highlight the area.
Can you help plan a great party?!
