Hervé Villechaize Memorial Park
Smiles, everyone… smiles!
Hervé Villechaize Memorial Park
About this time last year, I learned about Portland’s Mill Ends Park, which is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Smallest Park. Frankly, I think that’s horseshit. Mills End is a massive expanse of an entire two feet in diameter, a pastoral paradise of gargantuan proportions, a wasteful use of Portland’s finite downtown real estate.
The park, it is so wee!
Today’s cosmopolitan lifestyle demands a more aggressive approach to public greenspaces. My contribution: Hervé Villechaize Memorial Park. Hervé Villechaize Memorial Park is situated on a sunny 2″ (inches! eat that, Portland!) diameter patch of land in a back parking lot at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center in Menlo Park, California. Where Mill Ends Park has leprechauns, Hervé Villechaize Memorial Park has hobos, and occasionally a jug band.
I think Hervé would be proud (even though his park does get run over by a car every now & then).
A fitting tribute to Herve. I can’t wait to visit it myself someday.

Herve – a giant of a man.
(Surprise to know you are of a Filipino ancestry. I am, myself).
Your memory will live forever.
