In the May 2003 TPR, City Project Director and member of the Cornfield Advisory Committee, Robert Garcia, accused the California State Parks Department of backing out of a proposal to build soccer fields and other recreational facilities in the Cornfield. The Planning Report is pleased to present this interview with Ruth Coleman, Acting Director of California State Parks, in which she responds to Garcia's assertions regarding the state's commitment to the equitable provision of recreation facilities and discusses State Parks' future plans for urban parks in Los Angeles.
