The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency maintains 1,053 trees in the Civic

branches -- is part of a regular maintenance program to remove safety hazards and to preserve
the health and visual appearance of trees. This maintenance cycle will include pruning the trees
west of Ross Street, those located in Sasccer Park, and those located on the south side of Civic
Center Drive, as well as palm trees located throughout the Civic Center area.
