Douglas Park Playground Reconstruction Project
A project to improve and replace the playground
is coming to Douglas Park, with community input sessions in 2024, anticipated
construction to begin in spring 2025 and anticipated completion by summer 2025.
Two community workshops and other opportunities for community input on the playground project will kick off in 2024. The first community workshop will feature a presentation on potential concepts options and theme for the playground. Feedback from the first community workshop will be incorporated and the preferred concept design will be presented in the second and final community workshop, planned for summer 2024. Check back here for dates and details on the community workshops and opportunities for input.
The Santa Monica City Council approved the project on December 12, 2023, and new playground will be universally accessible—the fifth of its kind to be built in Santa Monica—welcoming children of diverse abilities to play and enjoy.
