2 New Park Development The General Plan and the PMP have stated goals of providing parkland within a 10-minute walk of all residents, and a ratio of three acres of parkland per 1,000 residents citywide. In an effort to work toward the General Plan and PMP objectives, the City identified six contiguous vacant parcels totaling 0.65-acre in size at the southeast corner of North Flower and West Tenth streets, which was considered a "park gap" area. Three of the parcels were owned by the Successor Agency and three were privately held by a single owner. In September 2022, the City finalized its acquisition of the six parcels and began the process to develop a public park at the site. City staff anticipate releasing an RFP for the design of the park in early 2023, with subsequent RFPs for construction to follow the design phase. Once complete, the park will provide recreation and open space amenities to four adjacent neighborhoods. »Above: Aerial image of the future park site at the The City was also recently awarded southeast corner of North Flower and West Tenth streets, nearly $1.5 million from the Caltrans identified by areen rectanale.
