As part of the Fiscal Year 2019-20 Capital Improvement Program, the City Council approved the Banna Park Project, which features the development of a 2-acre park and open space area at the intersection of Cypress Street and Banna Avenue. The park space will be passive in nature and include several amenities, such as a walking path, dog park, children's tot-lot play area, outdoor exercise stations, outdoor educational space, bicycle resting area, and drought-tolerant landscaping. Community outreach consisted of two stakeholder meetings held in 2019 to gather invaluable input from Covina residents as to what they would like their park experience to encompass. The park’s design is a direct reflection of resident requests for functional and anticipated that the park will be open to the public by late sustainable park amenities and, in an effort to expedite Fall 2020.
