GLENDALE, CA - U.S. Congresswoman Laura Friedman (CA-30) celebrated a new federal investment of $5,950,000 for the City of Glendale through the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) to bolster construction of the Central Park Block project. The project will help bring much-needed greenspace access into a bustling, urban part of Glendale.

"All of our communities deserve access to outdoor spaces where families can come together and bond, play, or exercise. With the help of federal investments like these, families in Glendale are now one step closer to being connected with the great outdoors. Just as importantly, every federal dollar means one less dollar local taxpayers have to cover," said Representative Laura Friedman (CA-30). "When it comes to bringing home investments to my district, I'll continue advocating for every penny we can get."

The Central Park Block project will offer an outdoor covered amphitheater, playgrounds, shade structures, a splashpad, and an outdoor fitness plaza to accommodate residents and their families.
