Summary
The Los Angeles Park Needs Assessment will be awarded the Planning Excellence Award at the APA Los Angeles 2026 Awards.

The Robert Group is happy to announce that the Los Angeles Park Needs Assessment (PNA) will be awarded the Planning Excellence Award at the APA Los Angeles 2026 Awards. The Awards Gala event will take place on Thursday, June 25 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in the Bonaventure Brewery Company.

Since the start of the PNA process in early 2025, The Robert Group (TRG) in teaming with OLIN employed an approach that is inclusive, comprehensive, and tailored to the city’s diverse population to effectively engage the community. This strategy factored in demographic diversity, urban development, existing amenities, and resident needs throughout the assessment process, leading to a more vibrant, healthy, and connected community.

TRG is proud and happy to have met the goals and milestones expected of this project, and is honored to have helped the Parks Needs Assessment achieve a high honor award.
