Rescued a kid my son had been playing with, just yards offshore on a visit to Jax. My son is a strong swimmer and knew what to do and stayed calm in a flash rip. The other boy was in real trouble… worst day of my life- swimming past my son to help the other kid. Lifeguards never get enough pay or credit. Watch Bondi rescue- we should be that well staffed too.
The community improved this area from neglected, unmaintained and often trashy to a place of meaning and beauty. If some adjustments are needed to make it safe, then provide guidance and a ‘path’ to compliance (pun intended). Let the garden stand as it what it has become for the community - the gateway to Dog Beach.
This petition is such an important step toward preserving not just a garden, but a legacy of community, care, and connection. Gwen’s Memorial Garden was more than flowers and benches—it was a place where neighbors met, families found quiet comfort, and children learned about the importance of nature in our everyday lives. Erasing it without any clear justification feels like wiping away a chapter of our shared history and the spirit of togetherness Gwen inspired.
