Monday, I took a bike ride from Milliken to Amethyst on the Pacific Electric Bike Trail. This is just a small part of the trail, not finished yet, that will eventually run from Rialto to Claremont. This stretch starts just north of the large open field that the city of Rancho Cucamonga wants to turn into Central Park. They've already built a community/senior center there on a small part of it. The field is home to several species of sage and other indigenous brush and flowers. I like the idea of a Central Park I just hope they preserve some of the original desert chaparral as a reminder of what the land used to look like before all these people moved here.
