SANTA MONICA—On Sunday, March 15, the city of Santa Monica posted on its Facebook page that after almost 2 years of public outreach and engagement, it has released a draft Framework Diagram for the Santa Monica Airport Conversion Project.
Visit SMACproject.com to take an online survey on the Framework Diagram by April 26.
The Framework Diagram is intended to build shared understanding and consensus before moving into the more detailed design phase. It organizes the site into eight distinct but interconnected districts:
-Immersive Nature, a calm ecological landscape prioritizing native habitat and biodiversity
-Active Sports, a structured regional athletic destination
-Arts & Culture, a dynamic district organized around food, performance, and creative expression
-Urban Edge, a connected district along the north side of the site that extends the park into the surrounding neighborhood through adaptive reuse of existing structures
-The Stroll, a welcoming green gateway serving as the park’s front door from the Clover Park area
-The Lawn, a flexible central gathering space serving as the “living room” of the park
-The Meadow, an intimate community-focused landscape with adventure play and neighborhood-scale gathering
-The Heart, a magnetic civic core where architecture, landscape, and movement intersect.
Members of the community are invited to review the Framework Diagram and share your feedback through our online survey, open through April 26. Both the survey and the Framework Diagram presentation are available on the project engagement website at: SMACproject.com.
