The city is <br />approximately 10 miles east of the Pacific coast and 30 miles south of Los Angeles. Incorporated in 1889 and <br />designated the county seat, Santa Ana is both the largest city in the county and one of the largest in the state of <br />California, as Santa Ana's current population is estimated to surpass 334,000. This populace, living within the <br />city's 27.2 square miles, translates into approximately 12,000 residents per square mile, making Santa Ana the <br />densest city in Orange County and second densest in the State. <br />Since 1947, the parks system was managed by the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency. <br />In March 2022, the entire Park Services Division, which includes ParkPlanning and Park Maintenance, <br />transitioned to the Public Works Agency. <br />The City of Santa Ana's Public Works Agency (PWA) is now responsible for the planning, design, development <br />and maintenance of fifty-four (54) parks, ten (10) recreation/community centers, two (2) senior centers, one (1) <br />nature center, thirteen (13) miles of Class I recreational trails, 2 lakes, 5 municipal pools, the Santa Ana Zoo <br />and multiple joint -use sites. The City's mission through our park system is to make lives and communities <br />better now and in the future by providing access to nature, outdoor space to play and exercise, facilities for self - <br />directed and organized recreation, positive alternatives for youth, and activities that encourage social <br />connections, human development, and lifelong learning. <br />In April 2022, the City updated its General Plan, including the Open Space Element and Bikeways Master Plan. <br />In May 2022, the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency adopted its first Parks Master Plan. <br />The ParkPlanning Division seeks the services of a landscape architectural firm(s) to be available on -call, to <br />augment staff with delivery of projects potentially on all levels, ranging from site specific master planning, <br />concept planning, feasibility studies, design, contract document development bid advertisement and <br />construction support. <br />
