Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 48
POP UPS
Throughout the planning process, the Parks Plan
team sought input during eight community events
or “pop ups” in multiple locations in Culver City. These
events included a range of participants including
families, seniors, students, and professionals. Pop
ups prove to be a fun, quick, and sometimes
spontaneous way to interact with the public, usually
in an environment that is comfortable for them
that captures participants that may not have the
time or ability to attend a traditional meeting.
Informational display boards on the Parks Plan
process, “Resilience, Ecology and Urban Forest”
and “Demographics” were showcased, as well as
activity boards “Which Parks Programs Do You
Use the Most?” and “Which New Amenities Would
You Like to See in Our Parks?” which encouraged
visitors to share their input.
Paper versions of the Community Survey as well
as QR codes to access the virtual survey, online
StoryMap, and website were available. Community
members who took a survey got to spin a prize
wheel and receive Culver City Parks Plan branded
items such as a tote bag, reusable water bottle,
t-shirt, hat, or mug. Community members showed
interest in taking part in the process and learning
about the Parks Plan. At the final pop-up event,
Fiesta La Ballona on August 24, early ideas were
showcased, and feedback on park proposals was
received from the community in advance of the
fall community meetings and the draft Parks Plan.
