Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 203
SYD KRONENTHAL PARK
STORMWATER OPPORTUNITIES
PROPOSED
1
(Planned) Coordinate with Public Works to
add bicycle parking and water fountains to
bicycle path access points.
2
(Planned) Public Works priority site;
coordinate between departments to install
underground stormwater storage.
3
(Planned) Convert path and playground
lighting to LEDs. This CIP was awarded
$300K by the City Council. Select
lighting with glare shields and dark skies
certification.
4
Add lighting to the basketball court.
5
Plant additional canopy trees (native or
climate adapted species).
6
Improve the important node where access
points for Ballona Creek Bike Path and
Expo Park Bike Paths meet with locally
native planting, artwork, wayfinding, seating,
shade, a bicycle repair station, and a
hydration station.
7
Improve the walking/jogging path along the
perimeter of the park.
8
Add another rentable picnic pavilion and
more picnic tables near the sports courts.
9
Renovate the irrigation system.
10
Expand the area with the swingsets to
include nature play and accessible play
equipment.
11
Add a mural along the southern wall with
the Expo Line.
12
Renovate the existing recreation building.
Consider large doors opening towards
the park, the redesign of room layouts for
improved functionality, or a second story.
Include sustainability upgrades such as
better insulation, air conditioning, and
photovoltaic panels. Buildings need to be
able to meet code for emergency shelters
for all proposed updates.
13
REGIONAL STORMWATER CAPTURE SITE
Due to more minor improvements proposed, LID
BMPs may not be required. During final design and
engineering, stormwater runoff from improvement
areas of other areas of the park may be routed to
the SWQMP proposed regional stormwater capture
BMP. Further analysis should be conducted to
confirm adequate capacity exists within the regional
stormwater capture BMP to also accommodate onsite stormwater volumes.
EXAMPLE FEATURE TREES
Add an outdoor gathering space that could
host arts performances and lectures.
14 Explore joint use opportunities with Echo
Horizon School.
