Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 191
EL MARINO PARK
STORMWATER OPPORTUNITIES
PROPOSED
1
(Planned) Replace play equipment and play
surface. Add a swingset.
2
Add an ADA accessible decomposed granite
walking/jogging path around the perimeter
of the park.
3
Create an ADA accessible park entrance
ramp from Berryman Ave.
4
Add two additional rentable picnic groves.
Remove the picnic area in the center of the
field, but leave the existing tree canopy as-is.
5
Install large fabric shade structures over the
play areas.
6
Resurface the basketball court.
7
Add an outdoor gathering space to the
northeast corner of the park and add
rainwater dispersion to adjacent planting.
8
Rebuild the Ceramics Hut into an
expanded Arts Pavilion, include more arts
programming, and have indoor-outdoor
usable spaces under an integrated shade
canopy. Include stormwater capture system
to meet LID requirements.
9
Expand the playground area to account for
the Arts Pavilion shade canopy.
10
Remove existing handball courts.
11
Renovate the existing recreation building
with sustainability upgrades (including
better insulation, AC, paired with other
energy initiatives). Buildings need to be able
to meet code for emergency shelters for all
proposed updates.
ON-SITE STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
El Marino includes a new Arts Pavilion and an
Outdoor Classroom that may result in over 5,000
square feet (SF) of new impervious surfaces. Due
to these new features, LID requirements may be
triggered, and on-site stormwater management
will likely be required. It is anticipated that the
new Arts Pavilion (~4,000 sf) may require a structural
treatment BMP, whereas the Outdoor Classroom
(~1,200 sf) runoff could be dispersed into adjacent
pervious landscaping. This approach may change
as part of final design of park redevelopment.
EXAMPLE FEATURE TREES
