A South Bay man says he’s tired of waiting and now is trying to build a park in his neighborhood.
It's going to take a while, but shovelful by shovelful, Mark Espinoza is determined to build a new park in Alviso.
The park is currently an empty field sitting on three acres of city-owned land on Grant Boulevard. It's been empty since the year 2000 and long identified as a place for a park. Espinoza said he's tired of waiting for a place the neighborhood can enjoy. "I’m fed up, enough is enough, I’m tired of being sick and tired. So, I’m taking things into my own hands. I want to clean the park up, I want to make it useable, put in some grass, some benches. So people can enjoy a park that was intended for them,” he said.
