Don’t underestimate the value of a dollar. It took just one George Washington for the City of Manteca to purchase 52 acres of almond orchards that eventually were converted into Woodward Park. The community park that is everything from a major regional soccer complex and ground zero for the West Coast’s largest Memorial Day weekend commemoration to a popular jogging and picnic locale just marked its 10th year in late October.
