WEST HOLLYWOOD—The West Hollywood City Council Hart Park Ad-Hoc Subcommittee is hosting a meeting on Monday, June 30 to receive feedback on improvements at William S. Hart Park & Off-Leash Dog Area.
Such possible improvements include options for the surfacing of the Off-Leash Dog Area, including wood chips, decomposed granite, and alternatives to synthetic turf.
The meeting will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the West Hollywood City Hall 1st Floor Community Meeting Room, located at 8300 Santa Monica Boulevard.
Community members who want to provide public comment are asked to attend. E-mail comments on matters before the Hart Park Ad-Hoc Subcommittee may be sent to West Hollywood Project Architect Michael Barker at mbarker@weho.org before 2 p.m. on June 30.
Back in February 2025, the City’s Public Facilities, Recreation, and Infrastructure Commission; Older Adults Advisory Board; and Disabilities Advisory Board all received updates on the progress of the Hart Park Improvements Project.
The consultant team incorporated the West Hollywood City Council direction along with input and feedback from selected City Board and Commissions into a final schematic design. Key planned improvements at Hart Park in the current phase include:
-Upgrades to all pedestrian path-of-travel routes and site accessibility barrier-removal improvements in locations as identified in a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) Report;
-Redesign of the parking area to be fully accessible and multi-functional; and
-Reconfiguration of the off-leash dog area into one small and one large play area.
