In mid-January, the vacant lot next to the Global Cache/Picos building underwent a major transformation when it was converted into a charming park. The project was made possible thanks to the generosity of GC building owners Walt Keller and Robin Ford. Global Cache, which occupies the upper floor of the building, employs 20 locals—it’s a hardware manufacturer of network equipment. Robin notes that the project was designed to provide the public and GC employees a nice place to relax, enjoy town and to improve the image of California Street. The park is divided by a wrought iron fence and includes pergolas, benches, a walking path and a dog water fountain!
