George Christopher Playground features a concrete wall painted with a vibrant, hand-tiled mosaic of local birds and flowers. It occupies a ridge that once marked the jagged edge of the city’s expansion into the hills. The playground bears the name of a former mayor who navigated the complicated zoning battles that brought housing to these slopes in the nineteen sixties. Kids run along the same steep, terraced concrete embankments that builders poured to hold the hillside in place during that frantic construction era.
