An eyesore for many years, Alethea Park received a face lift in 2006 with the help of a city bond election, the Kern Place Association, and donations from local businesses and residents. The park includes a small parking lot and a large grass field surrounded by several big trees, making it ideal for impromptu soccer and baseball games.
