I think it would be nice to see a large concentration of oak trees, that rivals the valley oak preserve off the 198. Park maintenance should be a priority.

Is it serving its intended use? Open it up to the public or have an event there so EVERYONE in attendance, not just us ol' Visalians, would be to witness the egregiously neglected eyesore and health hazard our once-beautiful Mooney Grove has become? Its current condition is shameful, especially when considering the fact that I still see (what I'm assuming are paid) employees driving around the grounds. On a side note, the frisbee golfers sure do seem to be enjoying themselves. The grass on their course is nice and green, relatively free of animal excrement, and it has a nice new bridge. ; ) Ok, so millions were spent on the construction, etc. of barn museum (which is gated off to the public by the way).
