The City of Santa Ana is located in central Orange County, flanked roughly by the Santa Ana River to the west, Santiago Creek to the north, 1-55 freeway to the east and South Coast Metro area to the south. The city is approximately 10 miles east of the Pacific coast and 30 miles south of Los Angeles. Incorporated in 1889 and designated the county seat, Santa Ana is both the largest city in the county and one of the largest in the state of Califoriiia, as Santa Ana's current population is estimated to surpass 334,000. This populace, living within the city's 27.2 square miles, translates into approximately 12,000 residents per square mile, making Santa Ana the densest city in Orange County and second densest in the State. Since 1947, the parks system was managed by the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency. In March 2022, the entire Park Services Division, which includes Park Planning and Park Maintenance, transitioned to the Public Works Agency.

The City's mission through our park system is to make lives and communities better now and in the future by providing access to nature, outdoor space to play and exercise, facilities for self - directed and organized recreation, positive alternatives for youth, and activities that encourage social connections, human development, and lifelong learning. In April 2022, the City updated its General Plan, including the Open Space Element and Bikeways Master Plan. In May 2022, the Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency adopted its first Parks Master Plan. The Park Planning Division seeks the services of a landscape architectural firm(s) to be available on -call, to augment staff with delivery of projects potentially on all levels, ranging from site specific master planning, concept planning, feasibility studies, design, contract document development bid advertisement and construction support.
