"Small Public Places for Sacramento"
Small Public Places are small neighborhood parks and plazas from 5 acres to 1/18th of an acre in size, to be located in designated high–density areas and park deficient neighborhoods throughout the City. Small Public Places will be an added component of our City-owned park land, and are intended to provide relief from the hardscape and intensity of City-life serving as positive places to gather and recreate where land is in short supply.
City staff met on June 15, 2007, in the first of a series of meetings to develop a common vision and purpose for Small Public Places within the City of Sacramento. Staff intends to update Council on project progress in Spring 2008, and to report back to Council in Summer 2008 to ask for approval of our (1) proposed vision and purpose for pocket parks and urban plazas, and (2) recommended policy changes to implement the proposed vision and purpose for incorporating these Small Public Places into our City of Sacramento park inventory.
A public workshop was held on October 25, 2007 which allowed staff to get input on "Small Public Places in Sacramento" and discuss the role of these small parks and urban plazas in the City's parks and recreation system. Following the public workshop, Parks and Recreation staff met with the Parks and Recreation Commission (11/7/07), the Planning Commission (11/15/07), the Building Industry Association (1/9/08), and other interest groups.
