In the first place, with only 17 inches annual rainfall, there is very little rain to come out of. Secondly, with only 180 elementary school children enrolled, a 4,000 to 5,000 square foot multipurpose room is more than adequate for the children to play and for special events. As far as physical education is concerned, it is much healthier for the children to play soccer or baseball outdoors in the sunshine than to play indoor sports. So let's not kid ourselves, the 14,500 square foot structure is not intended just for the children to come out of the rain. It is desired for the use of the members of the seven or eight Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) churches. read moreThe voiceless guitarOther Voices read moreCommunityVoice of the Past"Los Altos Park opened in 1925, I think. it didn't do too well because of the Depression troubles.
