We searched and can’t find the answer, so wanted to ask our readers.
We have Barbara Day Park here, it can be a bit of a seedy spot, but is a beautiful resource for Boulder Creek.
Anyone know who Barbara Day is?

NOTES
Junction park is going to have new signs to replace the ones that were stolen / vandalized. They are also looking at doing some improvements to the stairs to the beach.
Garrahan Park is going to have a pesticide treatment sometime in November a notice will be posted. The board was hoping they would not have to do this, and are planning to only do it once a year. There is currently a large problem with clover on the field which is attracting bees. I visited this park during a birthday party recently and the bees are a problem one child got stung while I was there. The board is hoping by doing it in November when it is less used and before the rainy season will limit the pesticides exposure to the environment and the general public.
Barbara Day Park is going to be having new signage as well stating no fishing with educational information about the river being a protected fishery, the populations and status of steelhead and coho as well as contact info for CDFW and or NOAA law enforcement. Continue reading

Grace Gurreri has been working on a special project at Barbara Day Park. Her vision is a gently raised labyrinth constructed of plaster. The plaster itself of recycled components and mixed on site.
Working with Boulder Recreation and Park District on planning and implementing park upgrades, she is well on the way to creating a meditative walking path.
The two photos from June 13 below show the project nearly completed
In The News: Barbara Day Park and crime
Joe Shreve at the Press Banner has posted an article regarding the issues at Boulder Creek’s Barbara Day Park. From the article:
“Several described Barbara Day Park — the dam park at Middleton and Fairview avenues — as a place where people are regularly drunk or high, party at all hours of the night and trespass onto private property. They said dogs are often allowed off their leashes, trash accumulates and broken glass and discarded hypodermic needles are common hazards.”
