Rec & Parks Community Forum Feb 5

A series of Community Forums will be held throughout the City to gather input from LA residents about the future of the Recreation and Park system.

The next one will be here in Sunland on Tuesday, February 5th at Sunland Recreation Center, 8651 Foothill Blvd., Sunland 91040

The foundation of the Assessment is to engage community leaders, stakeholders, users and the general public to gain detailed insight into current and future needs for the recreation and parks system. The overall objective for the Needs Assessment includes:

• Address needs for additional recreation facilities and park land
• Identify improvements to facilities to meet current and future demands
• Prevent future maintenance issues
• Offer positive alternatives to an increasingly dense and urbanized population

The process is also guided by three unique groups to ensure the Needs Assessment is engaging as wide a spectrum of community leaders, stakeholder, users and constituents. These groups include:

• Advisory Group - Individuals that represent a wide range of political, social and technical perspectives. The Advisory Group serves in an objective capacity to provide input and feedback throughout the project and represents resources to support the implementation of the plan.

• Interdepartmental Group - Professional staff members from various City of Los Angeles Departments. This group serves to ensure that effective communication and coordination is occurring among and between the numerous planning and outreach initiatives within the city.

• Department Working Group - Senior staff members from within the Recreation and Parks Department. These staff members meet with the MLA/PROS Team on a regular basis to review the planning process, provide feedback and input into critical tasks and help coordinate the community outreach activities.
