Do you know where Miltenburger Park is located? I had never heard of it and when I went searching to take this photo, I realized I had driven by it many times without realizing it. It is located on the upper hillside of Palos Verdes Drive East, across the street from the Miraleste Auto Center (at Miraleste Plaza) in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Years ago, Val E. Miltenburger helped form the Miraleste Park District and served on its board until 1943. The board so appreciated his efforts, the Miraleste Park District created and named a park in his honor. When the park was originally dedicated the area had a watering system and was beautifully landscaped with annual native flowers. After years of inattention, it is one of the areas on the Peninsula that is targeted for restoration when funds become available.
