text: You are mistaken.  This IS a "protected area" according to CPAD 2018a data (greeninfo.org), SCCGIS v5 (which calls it Zoning=PR, which means "park") and I, stevea, assert that it is a park in the sense of American English as of 2019.  Whether it is a park according to OSM may be debatable, as it is an "unimproved" park, meaning it is under development as to improvements like restrooms and other amenities.  However, it is an "urban green space open to public recreation" and therefore does meet OSM's definition according to me.  It can be accessed (informally) via Capitola Road on the NW side of the bridge.  Please Resolve this note.
