Orange County Almanac

Huntington Beach’s planned Norma Brandel Gibbs Park on Graham Street has fallen victim to the county bankruptcy.

The park was named after the first woman elected to the City Council and was designed as a migration point for monarch butterflies.

The park was expected to open in December. But Community Services Director Ron Hagan said that work on the tiled entryway and plaza area of the park has stopped.
