In 1996 Rankin set out to convert a weedy, empty lot into a small park. They built a small pavilion at the one end and had murals done on the large, cement retaining wall along the back of the lot. Artist Connie Merriman worked with 12 Woodland Hills School District students to create Images of Rankin.

James Milton, Local Businessman

The panels show locations around the community with some of the local residents. In the above image, James Milton of Milton’s Unique Hairworks was portrayed because of his contribution to Rankin’s business district.
