5 non-cultivated plants

I am almost certain about the cheatgrass, late cotoneaster, common toadflax and trip convolvuleae, however I am unsure about my 5th observation. It is a common shrub in the park where I am collecting my findings. It has needle-like leaves similar to a rosemary bush and is a shrub. However, I know it is not rosemary because it doesn't have the rosemary smell or the flowers that rosemary produces. The flowers on this shrub are small and purple.

I found these plants in Jack London Park, 0.3 miles from my house. The main pathway I took to find these plants is really the only cemented path in the park, so if someone wanted to find the same plants they would just need to look closely around them as they walked the path. The landscape characteristics of the park are relatively flat. There is a park with tan bark, a paved basketball cart and two small baseball fields. The greenery surrounding these things are mostly planted and planned but there is a lot of vegetation that is wildly growing. There are a lot of shrubs, trees and grasses but hardly any wildflowers. The nearest body of water is a small pond about 0.3 miles away.
