COMMUNITY WORKSHOPS – SUGGESTIONS NEEDED FOR NEW PARKS

The Department invites all residents to come and share suggestions and ideas for renovations, new amenities and improvements to our parks at one of the attached locations and meeting dates.

On Nov. 7, 2006, California voters passed Proposition 84, effectively approving grant funding of $368 million to critically underserved communities throughout California via a state-wide park program. Qualifying communities could receive up to $5 million per park improvement or newly established park facility project. The California State Parks Office of Grants & Local Services (OGALS) has announced a competitive grant application process for the neediest communities. The City of San Bernardino will be submitting multiple grant applications in March 2010 and is seeking the help of San Bernardino residents to form ideas for new park amenities, identify needs in existing open spaces, address public safety concerns in parks, and suggest potential new park developments throughout the city.
