Small Park in the Foothills of LA

This park has to be the smallest I've ever seen. The placards describe the history of La Crescenta and vilifies the working man who became an entrepreneur (Pickens) and glorifies the rich guy who became a liberal government bureaucrat (Briggs). Douglass firs cannot grow in forest anymore in the mountains and Pickens did contribute to their destruction. I read in other histories that the villain Pickens was actually not the cause of all bad things that happened in the foothills.. Briggs helped develop flood control that feeds into park areas so peoples homes further down the valley wouldn't wash away. Those homes wouldnt have been there without the economic development in the LA valley. So people like Pickens wouldn't have cut down the trees without the market for them. LA businesses used them for energy and construction. But the wealth created from this growth also created the resources to construct the canals and the floodplain park. Yet if the forest would have remained intact there wouldn't have been as much of a flooding issue. Ironic.
