Piccadilly Park

Piccadilly Park 

This park would not exist were it not for the diligence of two 
civic-minded citizens, Carol J. Stratton and Jean B. Mitchell. In 
1979 they launched a campaign to save this parcel, the home of 
the former Piccadilly Nursery, from commercial development. 
In the process they founded the Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club 
which raised funds to create this city-owned park almost 20 
years later. The Garden Club continues to maintain this 
property for the enjoyment of all, residents and visitors alike
