Culver City Parks Task 8.1 Final Plan - Flipbook - Page 5
WELCOME TO THE
PARKS PLAN
Introduction
The Parks Plan is the first step in a robust public
engagement strategy that will be part of all
future project planning. The ideal outcomes from
engagement include open networks of twoway communication and learning, meaningful
feedback on planning elements, and community
buy-in which transforms into long-term project
stewardship and success. Engagement methods
should employ diverse forms of media and activities
that span across geographic, language, and other
accessibility barriers.
How this Document is Organized
Section I: Introduction begins with an executive
summary of the document, reviews key planning
documents including the General Plan 2045, and
details the Parks Plan public engagement process.
Section II: Plan describes the Vision and Mission
of Culver City Parks, Recreation and Community
Services (PRCS). It outlines five Parks Plan goals set
during the planning process based on community
feedback and priorities. Each goal is supported
by Actions and Methods. Goals outline ideal
future states; actions describe ways of moving
toward the ideal state, and methods are specific
implementation steps for actions.
GOALS
Next, Section II summarizes the existing conditions
and present-day parkland, programming, arts and
culture, water, and ecology and resilience needs of
the parks system and the proposed strategies to
meet the system needs in the coming decades.
Finally, each of Culver City’s existing 13 parks are
explored in detail and proposed improvements
for each park are identified for the next 15 to 20
years. Design processes and additional community
meetings will take place once projects are funded
before moving forward with park improvements.
Section III: Implementation includes information
to help with budget proposals, decision-making,
and departmental coordination.
