Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 44
COMMUNITY MEETINGS
Community meetings were facilitated to
communicate the goals of the Culver City Parks
Plan, analyze existing conditions, amenities,
services, scope of current park needs, and capture
community feedback. The Culver City Parks Plan
team held a total of four in-person and three virtual
community meetings throughout the planning
process. PRCS staff were present at all meetings
and available to answer questions. Spanish
language translation was available at all community
meetings. A large city map allowed participants to
indicate where they live and parks they frequently
use. Additionally, a series of informational boards
showing parks system analysis research and each
individual park plan allowed community members
to engage with the materials in an open-house
style format. Virtual meetings allowed for a way
to get feedback from those unable to attend inperson meetings. Outreach and communications
in advance of meetings included physical flyers,
emails, and social media announcements.
Introducing the Parks Plan
(Community Meetings 1, 2, & 3)
The initial round of meetings introduced the Parks
Plan, planning process, existing conditions, PRCS
amenities and services, and the Parks Plan team to
the community. The in-person meetings were held
at the recreation centers at Syd Kronenthal Park
on May 1, 2024, and at El Marino Park on May 14,
2024. The in-person community meeting format
consisted of a presentation by the Parks Plan team,
followed by an open house with informational
stations. Community members were encouraged
to actively pass through each station to learn
more about the Parks Plan, ask questions, discuss
with the Parks Plan team members, and provide
comments via sticky notes placed on plans of each
park on boards around the room.
