Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 111
Parcels and Sites Explored
An 18-acre LA Community College
parcel near Culver Park was evaluated
for possible acquisition and transition
to parkland. Due to ownership by the
college and difficulty in coordination,
this site was excluded from further
consideration in the near term. It could
be a part of a long-term joint-use of the
site by PRCS and LACCD; however, it
is anticipated that any improvements
would need to be funded by the city.
A group of 1.5-acre parcels owned by
Culver City located along the southeast edge of Ballona Creek and north
of Culver City’s Lindberg Park were
evaluated and excluded from further
consideration because the site is
currently used as a safe encampment/
transitional housing area for the
members of the unhoused population
in Culver City.
A one-acre parcel along north-west of
Ballona Creek north of Syd Kronenthal
Park, owned and operated by Golden
State Water Company, was evaluated
and excluded from further consideration
in the short term due to current use
as a utility. Nonetheless, this site is of
particular interest should future multibenefit site design occur. PRCS should
regularly and continually monitor the
plans for this site.
A five-acre parcel at the base of the
Baldwin Hills Overlook was evaluated
as a possible site for new court sport
amenities. Part of this site is under
consideration by Public Works for use
as a storage area. There is no current
opportunity for this site to become
parkland but PRCS should continue to
monitor the site for future plans and
opportunity.
A four-acre parcel currently zoned as
commercial with unknown ownership
was identified in the Fox Hills
Neighborhood. While not currently for
sale, this parcel could be acquired and
developed into a park site that would
serve the current and future population
of Fox Hills.
This commercial parcel just north of
Fox Hills Park was identified early in the
process. It could connect to the park
and allow for increased connectivity
to developing neighborhoods to the
north which currently have very limited
pedestrian or bicycle access but it is
currently occupied.
A 0.3 acre site along National Blvd
under the Exposition Line Train was
identified and brought to the attention
of the city during the Draft Parks Plan
phase. Some or all of this site is under
consideration for recreational use in the
future including as a site for pickleball
and/or other suitable uses.
A cluster of parcels along Washington
Blvd at Centinela Ave. were identified
as vacant or underutilized, Culver City
Owned, property. These parcels are
directly in an area of Culver City with
some of the highest park pressure as
well as within census tracts identified in
the draft General Plan 2045 as SB 1000,
equity focused neighborhoods.
conceptual draft proposal for the site
includes two structures, a large parking
structure and surface parking. This site
should include parkland and amenity
development. This could be through a
sliding scale of involvement or change
from the past proposal including but
not limited to:
• Coordination with Culver City
PRCS for food and beverage
revenue generation on the sites
vendor/plaza spaces.
• Conversion or co-use of the
parking facilities into recreational
amenities.
Currently there is a development
proposal for the parcels that would
include commercial development of
the site by the city into a public market
space with vendor units that has been
largely stalled for a number of years. The
