Community Engagement – LA Park Needs Assessment – Department of Recreation and Parks

Public engagement is foundational to a comprehensive Park Needs Assessment!

Phase 1 Community Engagement

Engagement during the first phase of the PNA is focused on introducing the community to the PNA process.

Engagement Goals

Educate the public about the role RAP plays within the City of Los Angeles.

Solicit input from a diverse audience from a diverse cross-section of the City, including individuals who may not be able to attend meetings.

Provide opportunities for communities across the City to provide feedback on the PNA process, including progress updates on the TAC, Steering Committee, and RAP components of the Draft’s development.

Include hybrid options that allow for a variety of methods based on any prevailing health restrictions, community preference, or other unforeseen requirements.
