Figure 84. Park pressure on City of Culver City-owned and maintained parks is projected to increase across the city in the next 15 years. Source:
OLIN adapted from data including General Plan 2045, LA County Parks and Recreation, 2022 estimated population. U.S. Census Bureau. Table
S0101: “Age and Sex.” 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.
The table in Figure 84 shows park pressure for each
park owned and operated by PRCS. Larger parks
like Culver City Park have less pressure on average
with 13.59 acres per 1,000 residents. In contrast,
smaller parks, and parks in higher density areas with
less other parks around, have high park pressure
including Tellefson Park, Culver West Alexander
Park, and Fox Hills Parkette. These parks have an
estimated 0.14, 0.19, and 0.42 acres available per
1,000 residents in their respective parksheds. Some
parks are large but service a broad and dense area
of the city. For example, Veterans Memorial Park
which is 16.1 acres provides 1.33 park acres per
1,000 residents in its parkshed.
With the population and population density in
Culver City expected to grow, park pressure will
increase if no new parks are added and park acres
remain the same. To understand areas that will
be more greatly impacted by these changes, the
projected population was distributed throughout
parksheds in the city with emphasis on areas
labeled as “Activity Centers” in the General Plan
2045 that will have more focused development
and changes in land use zoning with increased
dwelling unit density.18 When considering this shift
in population trends, the projected park pressure
was estimated.
The LA County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation
Needs Assessment (PNA) defines parks below 3.3
acres of park space per 1000 residents of a parkshed
as “high pressure.” The PNA also noted that over
80% of the county’s parks fall into this category.17
Similarly, in Culver City, all but one of PRCS’s 13
parks fall into the category of “high pressure.”
