Halcyon Commons is one of the first neighborhood-designed and implemented parks in the city’s history. It is also the only public park serving the entire quadrant of South Berkeley bordered by Telegraph, Ashby, Adeline, and Woolsey (this neighborhood includes over 1,000 households). Halcyon Commons is a testament to the power of partnership in its establishment, in its design and the crafting of its features, and in the planting of its landscape (85 community volunteers came together to plant shrubs and trees and lay sod where there was once a parking lot). As a result, it is a much-used and beloved park. HNA, which guided the creation of this park, continues to this day to help maintain it by sponsoring five to six work parties annually, as well as hosting various community events in the park.<\/p>\n
