Buttes Park of Lake Los Angeles Proposal

LLAPA learned so much at the Parks Summit that we feel brave enough to work to submit a Prop 68 grant for funding a new park for Study Area 17 in Lake Los Angeles . In using the tools that are part of the preliminary work in the grant application, we have identified property located on 150th East and Avenue O which is currently on the market and appears to be within the guidelines for a funding request. We are planning on seeking the maximum grant limit for funds of $8.5 million to build a new park that could become the future site of a new Aquatic Center. The deadline for this round of applications for submission is August 1.

Our name for the future park and for this project is Buttes Park of Lake Los Angeles as from the land Lovejoy, Alpine, Rocky, Piute, and Saddleback Buttes can be clearly viewed.

LLAPA requests the community to assist us with this effort

We will also be working closely with Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation as County would be the lead in using the grant funds to purchase and develop the land.
