Beauty spot park at city waterworks plant in Alpine
Nay Bowles, superintendent of the city water and sewer systems, has single handedly transformed a barren hillside above Alpine into a scenic park. Hundreds of flowers, shrubs, and trees now adorn the area with winding steps and a reservoir view that overlooks Alpine and the surrounding valley. Despite vandals pulling flowers and damaging plants, Bowles continues his laborious effort largely at no cost to the city, aided only occasionally by an RF worker.
