In fall of 2025, the City of Long Beach Department of Public Works launched an important effort to connect Drake Park and Cesar E. Chavez Park into a single, unified regional park space through a master planning process. These projects are named the Drake-Chavez Master Plan Project and the Drake-Chavez Connection Project. These projects aims to expand public access to open space, strengthen connections between surrounding neighborhoods, and create a continuous recreation corridor along the lower Los Angeles River. Once complete, the projects will transform nearly 20 acres of existing and new open space and transform portions of the adjacent former industrial area into an accessible, multi-use public space for recreation, gathering, and environmental restoration.
The Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan for the City of West Hollywood is a strategic community-driven plan that aims to use public input to play a key role in the planning process. The plan will act as a holistic framework to explore open spaces, parks, and recreation while addressing the community needs to improve the existing recreational and visitor experience. The Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan will be a highly participatory process that includes many forms of outreach and opportunities to include broad, diverse stakeholder and community input.
