DISCUSSION
The State of California Statewide Park Program made $254,942,000 available to Cities, Counties,
Districts and Joint Powers Authorities for projects that will create, expand or renovate parks. The
City of Santa Ana submitted grant applications for the following projects, which were awarded
funding:
1. Standard & McFadden New Park — Grant Award $3,600,000
The proposed project develops the existing vacant, unused parcel of land into a new park,
which would include a skate area, exercise area, playground area, walking loop, open space
and basketball court. The project would also include drought tolerant landscaping, river -
rock bio-swale, and a picnic area. For security and safety, a complete lighting system will be
included as well as fencing to act as a barrier between the park and street. The estimated
total project cost is $4,000,000. There is $400,000 of funding identified for this project and
the successful grant award of $3,600,000 will allow the project to move forward.
Indirect/Overhead costs are not funded by the grant.
