City to Vote on Official Ownership of Longview Park

As possession is nine-tenths of the law, Diamond Bar has assumed ownership of a neighborhood mini-park for over 20 years.

But Longview Park, located near the city limit with Chino Hills on N. Grand Avenue, was not properly transferred to the city during incorporation in 1989.

According to city staff reports, a long paper trail led back to the park's original developer and the current owner, Ryland Homes.

The city council will vote on an agreement with Ryland during Tuesday night's meeting that would transfer the property and all past liabilities to the city through a quitclaim transfer.
