VETERANS MEMORIAL PARK
Veterans Memorial Park is one of Culver
City’s community parks with a potential
for a festival-like atmosphere due to
programming intensity, range of users,
amenity buildings (existing, renovated,
or newly constructed) and 7-days-perweek audience.
Programming Intensity (stabilized year)
1-2 scheduled daily programs on weekdays, 2-3
scheduled programs on weekends; numerous
amenities.

interactive rotating art exhibit, local artist
demonstrations.
• Fitness and Wellness: boot camps,
kickboxing, meditation, extreme stretching.
• Hobbies and Niche Interests: makers
workshops, gardening workshops.

Burgers, Oktoberfest, etc.).
• Live Entertainment: silent disco, local bands,
percussion ensemble.
• Education: imagination playground, outdoor
library and reading room.

should drive event rental, class, and F&B revenue;
larger ticketed events on limited basis; high-value
sponsorship opportunities for individual park
elements.
Partnership Strategy
Larger commercial partnerships to provide staffing,
funding, and operational assistance for amenities
and programs; third-party event management
agreement.
