- EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT COMPLETED - There is a new pocket park is Castro Valley called Sage Park.

It is located at the entrance of the Castro Valley Library and was designed and created by Ronan Wilfong, a boy scout in Troop 722 and Forestr.org, a non-profit with a mission to green Castro Valley open spaces and beyond. Sage Park was Ronan’s project to earn the highest rank of Eagle in scouts.

Sage Park is a native garden complete with California native shrubs, trees, wildflowers, benches and paths, and interpretive signs to educate the public about the ecological benefits of native plants and how they protect stormwater from pollution.

Native plants reduce water use and do not require chemicals to ward off pests thus eliminating pollutants into the waterways from toxic runoff when it rains. They also provide food for endangered native birds, butterflies and other wildlife as well as shelter and homes.

Sage Park is funded by the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program through its Community Stewardship Grant program, a grant Ronan and Forestr applied for and was awarded in 2024.

The park took a year to build thanks to the volunteers and scouts of Troop 722 as well as members of Forestr. It will be maintained by Forestr as one of their many green efforts in Castro Valley.

Ronan Wilfong is a freshman at Castro Valley High School, his lifelong love of books inspired him to give back to his local library by beautifying its entrance with a native garden for the public to enjoy.
