Long before it became Walter Pierce Park, it was Community Park West. Community Park West will be remembered for its dances during the Latino Festivals, a 2-day community-wide event in the middle of the summer. Looking out onto the field, there'd be a sea of dancers dancing to music played by Maria y sus Magnificos.Walter Pierce lived in the building overlooking the park, and yelled and screamed tirelessly to prevent the park from becoming expensive condominiums.
