2. PLAYGROUND DESIGN AT HOLMBY PARK
Several months ago, we reported that new playground equipment is being planned for the children’s area at Holmby Park. Click below to see the renderings/concept for the playground:
Holmby Park Playground Project – concept design
The Playground at Holmby Park has been under discussion at the Holmby Park Advisory Board (HPAB) meetings. Many residents attended a HPAB Zoom meeting in May and gave their input regarding the project. Since that meeting, the HPAB continues to work with LA Recreation and Parks as well as our City Council office to discuss the project.
Darryl Ford from the Planning Division of Los Angeles City Recreation and Parks has been overseeing the project. If you would like to provide input into the process you can contact Darryl at: darryl.ford@lacity.org and provide your input to him directly.
3. SIDEWALK CAMPING – HOMELESS MOTION
On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, the Los Angeles City Council passed a new motion which restricts sidewalk camping near certain areas, such as fire hydrants, doorways and schools. The ordinance now heads to Mayor Eric Garcetti, who plans to sign it. Learn more about how this will be implemented in this LA Times article:
LA Times – Anti-Camping Law article
Please note: the new rule does not apply to the County owned sidewalks, such as the sidewalk on San Vicente north of Wilshire in Brentwood.
