Councilmember Hernandez, Recreation and Parks reopen Hope And Peace Park after $400,000 Measure A refurbishment
Summary
Councilmember Eunice Hernandez and Recreation and Parks marked the reopening of Hope And Peace Park in Westlake, a project funded with over $400,000 in LA County Measure A funds to refurbish playgrounds and amenities serving a dense renter population.
Councilmember Eunice Hernandez and the Department of Recreation and Parks announced the reopening of Hope And Peace Park in the Westlake neighborhood following renovations paid for with LA County Measure A funds.
Speaking at the event, Hernandez said Westlake is one of the densest neighborhoods on the West Coast and that the park serves as a "front yard" for thousands of nearby residents who largely live in apartment buildings. "This is where they can bring their kids and family to play, to enjoy some green space and some fun activities," Hernandez said.
Officials said the refurbishment used over $400,000 from LA County Measure A and included playground revitalization and improvements intended to serve families in the half-mile radius around the park, a neighborhood the remarks described as home to about 20,000 people.
Council staff and Recreation and Parks representatives encouraged residents to report maintenance issues—broken fixtures, graffiti or bulky items—via 311 or the council office to keep the park in good condition. The council office also referred residents to cd1.lacity.gov for information on activities and events in Council District 1.
The reopening is part of broader efforts the council described as revitalizing neighborhood open spaces by adding play spaces and family-oriented amenities funded through county and local sources.
