Discovery Science Center may Expand to Great Park
Coincidentally, right after my profile of “Walkie” Ray, news arrives that the Discovery Science Center is trying to make a 12-acre education garden in the Great Park. Apparently this is part of the 1,300 acres that were already designated as botanical gardens. Botanical gardens are nice to have, but here’s the only dilemma: I don’t know if you’ve been to the base recently, but it is hot as hell out there, and I don’t know how they’re going to irrigate 1,300 acres of lush gardens cost-effectively. Oh yeah, the best part is that “Walkie” Ray, Beth Krom, and Miguel Pulido serve on the Discovery Science Center Board AND The Great Park Corp. Board. I wonder if that had anything to do with the Science Center’s expansion into the Great Park.
