Figure 158. Culver City owns and operates 13 parks. Acreage and park classification are displayed for each facility. Note: The General Plan
2045 defines Tellefson Park as a parkette/mini park; however, due to its size and existing amenities, the Parks Plan classifies Tellefson Park as a
neighborhood park. Source: City of Culver City, 2009, 2019, 2023.
In addition to the Culver City parks, other resources
expand the parks and services available to
residents. The draft General Plan 2045 describes
this breakdown as follows:
• Stoneview Nature Center, a five-acre facility
owned and operated by Los Angeles County
within Culver City, is designated as a Special
Use Area.
• City-owned public plazas include Heritage
Park and Town Plaza.
• Parks owned by other agencies include
Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook State Park,
owned and operated by the State of
California’s Baldwin Hills Conservancy, and
Media Park, an event space on the border
of the city limit for which Culver City has a
long-term lease with the City of Los Angeles.
• Privately-owned public open spaces
(POPOs) include the Platform, the Culver
Steps, and Ivy Station.
• Finally, the City has a joint use agreement
with the Culver City Unified School District
(CCUSD) and rents space to West Los
Angeles College.61
Many of the park facilities have a division of space
prioritization that is specific to the era of their
development. For example, many of the parks
developed in the mid-20th century have an
emphasis on field sports, tennis, and community
centers with less emphasis on elements such as
walking or hiking trails, ecology, and more recently
popular sports such as pickleball. Many of the parks
also lack ADA-accessible routes and inclusive design
elements. Many site furnishing elements and
irrigation systems are dated and could be updated
with more sustainable and resilient fixtures.
