Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 195
FOX HILLS PARK
STORMWATER OPPORTUNITIES
PROPOSED
1
Address the hillside slope erosion along
Buckingham Pkwy. and Green Valley Cir.
via slope stabilization, grading adjustments,

2
Create a rain garden at the base of the slope
to meet LID requirements.
3
Install glare shields on park lighting or
install full cutoff fixtures.
4
Add additional LED path lighting around
the park.
20 Investigate opportunities for this facility in
adjacent development projects to reduce
impacts on park space.
5
Remove invasive vegetation such as pampas
grass and replace understory with noninvasive climate adapted and/or locally
native vegetation.
21 If required, consider a small building built
into the hillside on Buckingham Pkwy. with
elevator ADA access to the upper level of the
park.
6
Create an ADA accessible walking/jogging
path along the perimeter of the park.
7
Regrade entry walkway to a 5% slope.
22 Create a signature native plant garden and
environmental signage off of the main entry
path on Buckingham Pkwy.
8
Continue nautical chain boundaries along
walking/jogging paths throughout the park.
Install new path edging that could be curbs
on either side of the path.
23 Create new park gateways and access
to the open space network of nearby
developments in accordance with the new
Fox Hills Specific Plan (in development).

path.

17
18
19
Build a community recreation center for
Fox Hills. Buildings need to be able to meet
code for emergency shelters for all proposed
updates.
The proposed new community center within the
park boundaries may require some level of LID
BMP implementation if it is over 5,000 square feet.
This park has been identified as a high priority to
the city for installation of a regional stormwater
capture BMP. Therefore, further analysis should
be conducted to confirm adequate capacity exists
within the SWQMP regional stormwater capture
BMP to also accommodate on-site stormwater
volumes.
EXAMPLE FEATURE TREES

equipment.
Improve and add bicycle and pedestrian
access in accordance with the efforts of the
Culver City Public Works Department.
Add additional bicycle storage and parking
at the entrances to the park.
