Dracena Quarry Park , an informal park on eight acres of land in an abandoned rock quarry, is a hidden neighborhood gem. Deceptive in its size, the park starts out as a sloping strip of grass that leads to a children’s playground completed in 2006. In addition to a new play structure and two sets of swings, the new playground includes a climbing wall, a waterfall faucet for the sand area, and a cement slide built into a grassy man-made hill. Beyond the tall green gates is a lovely lawn area with a ring of pathway that was dedicated by the city in 1996. At the far end of this "secret garden" are the steep vegetation-covered walls of the old quarry. Just north visitors will find a small stand of redwoods, a picnic table and the start of a dog run through a series of shaded paths leading up to Dracena Avenue.
