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.
