WEST HOLLYWOOD—The city of West Hollywood shared on its Facebook page on February 5 that feedback is still wanted on the Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan through the new interactive StoryMap engagement website.

Individuals can learn what has been heard so far about open spaces, historic buildings, community amenities, and improvement ideas — then add input at the end of each section.

“Previous park master plans called for changes that are no longer feasible and new goals regarding climate resilience, sustainability, and the preservation of historic and cultural resources have emerged.

Over the course of the next few years, the City of West Hollywood will be crafting a new, community-driven plan for Plummer Park, and your input will be valuable in this process. How can we ensure that Plummer Park continues to meet the needs of its diverse community while remaining the vibrant place it is today, honoring its history, and adapting to the future needs of the community,” stated the Engage West Hollywood Plummer Park website.

The Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan is intended to be highly participatory, with the goal of developing a new community-driven park plan with broad stakeholder support. The team will utilize both physical and digital strategies to hear from a wide range of community voices, forming an iterative process with numerous opportunities for input and feedback.

The planning process will be carried out in two phases:

-Phase 1 will focus on community engagement and a thorough analysis of park programming and uses.
-Phase 2 will include further community engagement and the development of a Comprehensive Improvement Plan for the Park.

The public is asked to share thoughts by Friday, February 20. To learn more details, visit: www.go.weho.org/plummerparkplan.

WEST HOLLYWOOD—In West Hollywood, there lies Plummer Park, and the city government is determined to reimagine it for the future, but the city government did not want to do so without input from the community. This is what lead it to host its Community Brainstorm Workshop on Saturday July 12, which was held between 10 a.m. and one p.m. in Fiesta Hall. That is located in Plummer Park.

During this event, representatives of the city government had several stations that conducted small workshops which allowed them to learn about the history of Plummer Park, the events that occurred there and how the public uses it. Those who participated in these workshops were able to see interactive maps and 3-D models which they could make changes to if they desired to do so and also make suggestions about possible improvements for the park. All of this information will be used to form the city’s Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan.

This is not the only event the city plans to hold to help form its city’s Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan as more events like that one that was held on Saturday will be occurring. The city will be listing them on the webpage, Engage WeHo Project Page. It can be found at https://engage.weho.org/plummer-park-comprehensive-improvement-plan.
