Hubbell
Monument Gateway
Lakeside's River Park Conservancy has completed the first "on-the-ground"
project with the help of artist James T. Hubbell. In a beautiful
combination of organic, natural materials, the Hubbell Monument
acts as the future gateway into Lakeside's River Park. Located on
Channel Road
and Lakeside Avenue, on a parcel of land which will be donated to
the Conservancy by Hanson Aggregates, Inc., the monument depicts
a great egret with wings spread overlooking a mosaic stream of fish
created by Lakeside's schoolchildren. The egret is surrounded by
large natural boulders and is beautifully lit at night by solar
energy.
Beyond the gate lies a memorial grove, in memory of Lena DiBenedetto,
with native California trees, memorial benches and our Sponsorship
Acknowledgement sign.
