Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 149
6 | SITE SCALE
Culver City’s 13 parks provide an extraordinary
range of programming for an 85.4-acre system.
With activities ranging from preschools, after
school programs, ceramics, field sports, court sports,
racket sports, playgrounds, swimming, picnicking,
ropes course activities, skateboarding, pooch paths,
the BoneYard dog park, exercise equipment, and
passive activities such as walking, the number
of elements is significant. Most of the parks have
restrooms, water fountains, bicycle parking, and
benches. Many parks also have parking for personal
vehicles and recreation buildings. The condition
of many facilities is fairly good as compared to
other park facilities in the Southern California
Region; however, residents note there are needs for
upgrades. Notable nicer areas include features such
as recently completed playgrounds, recent field
upgrades, the Plunge pool, and popular community
tennis courts. Many elements in need of upgrades
are still beloved by community members despite
their conditions.
Within Culver City, there are two large community
parks, defined as parks greater than 15 acres in
size. These two parks, Culver City Park and Veterans
Memorial Park, total approximately 50 acres. The
remaining parks primarily occur in residential
neighborhoods and have a high amount of local use
from residents living within a half-mile of the parks.
Neighborhood parks, defined as parks from one to
15 acres in size, in the northeast portion of Culver
City include Blair Hills Park and Syd Kronenthal
Park. The highest concentration of neighborhood
parks is in the central and southern areas of the
City—Blanco Park, Carlson Park, El Marino Park,
Fox Hills Park , Lindberg Park, and Tellefson Park.
Culver West Alexander Park serves the community
in the westernmost portion of the city. Mini parks/
parkettes, defined as parks less than one acre in
size, are typically used by residents who live directly
adjacent to these parcels and include Coombs
Parkette and Fox Hills Parkette.60
