29 4.1 Summary
Location: 1651 W. 162nd Street
Parking: 38 spaces
James Rush Gymnasium and Human Services
Offices is a single story building built in 1975.

There are separate public entrances for the
gymnasium and office wing. Both entrances are
raised above the public right of way by several
steps.

There is one small parking lot on the south side
of the building with two accessible parking
spaces. Public access to the building is directly
adjacent to the building on the east side. However, there is no accessible path of travel from the parking lot to the public sidewalk and building entrances without using the parking lot driveway.

The office wing of the building includes a public lobby, gender-specific restrooms and a service counter. A drinking fountain is included in the lobby space. There is direct access from the office wing into the gymnasium wing. The gym space features up to three standard basketball courts (side by side) or one single basketball court with spectator bleachers on the east side of the space.

There are gender-specific restrooms and locker rooms provided within the gymnasium space, however the locker rooms are not in service at this time and only used for equipment storage.

4.2 General Site Access
This building is located directly adjacent to the
public sidewalk along W. 162nd Street. There are
separate entrances to the gymnasium and office
space. The parking lot is just to the south of the
building. There is no compliant accessible route
from the parking lot to the building entrances. See
Parking section below for complete details.

The primary path of travel to the gymnasium and
office entrances is along the public sidewalk via a
ramp and stair at each entry. Since the sidewalk is
part of the public right of way, the city should
regularly inspect, maintain and repair any uneven
cracks, broken or heaving concrete along the
accessible path of travel.

Public Sidewalk at W. 162nd Street
Tool 3: Inventory of Parks, Facilities, & Programs 221
City of Gardena | Parks and Recreation Master Plan
30 4.3 Parking
There are two accessible parking spaces with one
access aisle between provided within the Rush
Gymnasium parking lot. In general, while both
spaces are not fully compliant, they only require
minor modifications to meet accessibility
requirements. However, the provided access aisle
is not connected to the accessible path of travel.

Persons using Space 1 are required to travel
behind vehicles parked in Space 2. Additionally,
the only possible route requires individuals to
utilize the vehicle driveway for access.

Areas requiring correction for Parking 1 & 2
include:
 Repainting fading striping.
 Adding $250 FINE signs at both spaces.
 Modifying slopes to compliant maximums
in all directions.

The shared access aisle requires the following
modifications:
 Restriping to compliant width.
 When restriping, ensure all diagonal
hatches are provided at compliant
maximum spacing.
 Repainting NO PARKING at entry end of
aisle.
 Providing a compliant path of travel to the
public sidewalk and continued path of
travel to both the gymnasium and the office
space.

See PK1, PK2 and AA12 Checklists for complete
details.

31 4.3 Building Entries
There are separate entrances for the gymnasium and office space. Both entrances include a ramp and a stair. The gymnasium entry consists of a double door entering the building on the northeast side. The office space entry consists of an automatic double sliding door on the southeast side of the building.

4.3.1 Gym Ramp
The gymnasium entry ramp appears to have been
recently upgraded. However, there are some
elements at the ramp that are not compliant. These
include the following:
 The lower landing has non-compliant
slopes
 The ramp cross slope is too steep
 The detectable warnings at the bottom of
the ramp are not required. This is not an
interface with a hazardous vehicular way
See RAMP1 Checklist for complete details.

4.3.2 Gym Stairs
The gymnasium stairs appear to have been
recently upgraded. However, there are some
elements at the stairs that are not compliant.

These include the following:
 The bottom landing slope is slightly too
steep
 The handrail extensions are too short
 The contrasting stripes at the stair nosings
are missing
See STAIR1 Checklist for complete details.

32 4.3.3 Gym Entry Door
The gymnasium entry door appears to be original. However, the door primarily requires only minor modifications. The most significant required modification is the height of the glass panel light within the door.

See DOOR1 Checklist for complete details

4.3.4 Office Ramp
The ramp to the office wing requires significant repair work.

This includes the following:
 Replace lower landing with level landing in all
directions.
 Replace handrails with compliant extensions and
heights.
 Repair non-compliant ramp cross slopes.

See RAMP2 Checklist for complete details.

4.3.5 Office Stairs
The office stairs are also non-compliant and require repairs.

This includes the following:
 Install compliant handrails at both sides.
 Add contrasting striping at all stair nosings and top landing.

See STAIR2 Checklist for complete details.

4.3.6 Office Entry Door
The entry door is an automatic sliding door and meets
accessibility requirements. However, there is an unsecured floor mat at the interior side of the door which should be removed or secured.

4.4 Gymnasium
The Rush Gymnasium can be configured as one
single court lengthwise as well as two side-by-side courts in the perpendicular direction. There are bleachers located along the street side of the building. There is adequate level surface around the perimeter to access throughout the gym space.

There is one door to the office space adjacent on the south side of the gym space. This door requires minor repair work related to closing speed and operating force.

See DR3 Checklist for complete details.

Adjacent to the gymnasium on the north side are gender specific restrooms and locker rooms.

The locker rooms are no long in use. See the following section for restroom inspection information.

34 4.5 Restrooms and Drinking Fountain
There are two gender specific multiple occupant restrooms in the gym and two gender-specific multiple occupant restrooms in the office portion of the building. There are also two genderspecific locker rooms adjacent to the gym restrooms. These locker rooms are not in use and were not inspected.

8 4.4 Play Area
There is one play area in the park with fairly
modern equipment. The play area ground surface
is completely rubber material, providing full
accessibility throughout the play area. However,
there are surface areas showing wear in various
locations, requiring repair or replacement.

Play equipment includes one large play structure
and one set of swings, providing ample elevated
and ground level play elements.

10 4.6 Sports Facilities

4.6.1 Basketball Courts
There is a lowered basketball court area on the west
side of the park. There is acceptable access around the perimeter of the play area. However access down to
the courts is in need of repair. This includes renovation of all four entry stairs and the ramp located on the south side of the courts. The stairs require new handrails in all locations. The ramp requires rebuilding with an
intermediate landing as the total rise is greater than
30”.

See RA1 and ST1-4 Checklists for complete details.

Additionally, there is significant cracking and heaving within the concrete area of play. Repair of the
basketball court surface should be planned.

12 4.6.3 Tennis Courts
There are four tennis courts located on the
northeast side of the park. The courts are
accessed from the parking lot and restrooms via a
continuous sidewalk along the south side. The
sidewalk has some areas with cross slopes greater
than 1:20 slope. Additionally, the approach to the
gates has a running slope of approximately 4.5%.

It is recommended that the landings be removed
and replaced with level concrete. The walkway
approach should also be adjusted as needed to
create an accessible path of travel.

The latches on the entry gates are centered at 54”
above the ground surface. Additionally, the latches
are difficult to operate. It is recommended that the
gate latches be replaced with compliant latches
within acceptable reach ranges.

Inside the fenced court area, there is adequate
clearance around the perimeter of all four courts
and between the courts, providing full access
throughout.

There is one large unmarked sports field
located to the east of the parking lot. There is
a small bleacher structure along the sidewalk.

There is a large level concrete area directly
adjacent to the bleachers, providing adequate
accessible spectator area for sports activities.

There is a concrete walkway connecting
directly to other areas within the park. There
are a few panels of concrete that have
heaved slightly over time and require some
repair work to provide a fully accessible path
of travel.

14 4.7 Restroom Building
There is one restroom building adjacent to the
covered picnic area. It includes two accessible
toilet rooms that are directly accessed from the
exterior. An exterior sink is located on the north
side of the building. This facility provides adequate
access for the disabled.

There are four individual accessible toilet
compartments in this building. All four toilet rooms
are identified as accessible. However only the two
closest to the picnic tables are dimensionally
compliant. The two toilet compartments that are
dimensionally compliant require minor repair work
to meet compliance. Thes include the following:
 Replace wall signs on all four doors. All four
signs are difficult to read due to graffiti. The
two non-accessible toilet rooms should be
noted correctly.
 Replace the toilet paper dispensers. Install
under side grab bars in compliant location.

See TR1 & TR2 Checklists for complete details.

There are exterior sinks located at either end of the
restroom building. Both sinks meet current
accessibility requirements.

15 4.8 Other Facilities

4.8.1 Community Building
There is one community building located adjacent
to the covered picnic area. There are two entry
doors with landings facing the playground area.

There are curb ramps leading up to the landings.

The raised edge condition of these curb ramps are
broken and may present a trip hazard. It is
recommended that modification to the walkways
be planned to eliminate the curb ramps and raised
edge conditions.

4.8.2 Drinking Fountain
There is one recently installed drinking fountain
and water bottle filling station. This station meets
accessibility requirements and is a replacement for
the original non-compliant drinking fountain
(shown below). No repair work is required for the
new unit.

16 5.1 Site Summary
Location: 1202 W 170th Street
Park Area: 13.80 acres
The Gardena Willows Wetlands is located just
south of Arthur Lee Johnson Memorial Park and
is bounded by Vermont Street on the east, an
existing residential neighborhood to the north
and retail/food service establishments to the
south. The main entrance to the wetlands is from
the south side of Arthur Lee Johnson Memorial
Park.

5. WILLOWS WETLANDS PRESERVE
Tool 3: Inventory of Parks, Facilities, & Programs 290
City of Gardena | Parks and Recreation Master Plan
17 5.2 Wetlands Entry
The main entrance into the Wetlands is from
Arthur Johnson Park. There is no dedicated
accessible path from the parking lot or other
adjacent amenities. Wheelchair access can only
be gained from a marginally compliant curb ramp
leading directly from the vehicular way.

Additionally, the pedestrian route from the curb
ramp to the gate should be releveled or enhanced
with paving or compacted decomposed granite to
provide a more accessible route.

5.2.1 Curb Ramp
The slopes of the existing curb ramp are
compliant. However, there is no compliant top
landing. The concrete ends at the top of the ramp
with an abrupt drop to the dirt pathway.

Additionally, the bottom of the ramp exits directly
into the vehicular way and does not connect to any
pedestrian route. There are no detectable
warnings at the bottom end of the curb ramp. It is
recommended that a new concrete walkway is
added from the area of the curb ramp leading to
Johnson Park along the western edge of the sports
field. When adding a new walkway, an upper
concrete landing of the curb ramp should be
installed.

5.2.2 Entry Gateway
While the gateway is only in use when the Wetlands is open (and remains open – no public gate operation is required), the landing is too short and should be replaced. The entry gate has a very small concrete apron which has a severe vertical edge on the approach side. This should be replaced with a full depth landing. Since the adjacent ramp on the inside of the park abuts the gate, landing improvements at the entry gate should be coordinated with the ramp improvements listed later in this section.

18 5.3 Entry Bridge
Upon entering the Preserve, there is a 60” wide
bridge with running slopes ranging between 4.4%
and 6.5%. Slopes over 5% require handrails.

Additionally, there are gaps in the bridge planks
that are as wide as 1” in some locations. The
maximum allowable gaps in pedestrian paths are
½”. Both sides of the bridge pathway are equipped
with compliant wheel guides which protect
wheelchair users from wheel entrapment.

Additionally, the guardrails on both sides of the
bridge are 42” in height, meeting the side
protection requirement for vertical drop offs greater
than 30”
Recommended improvements at the entry bridge
include the following:
 Install compliant handrails on both sides
of the bridge with 12” minimum
extensions.
 Compliant landings should be included at
both ends of the bridge. Top landings
must be 48” long and bottom landings
must be 72” long.
 Infill the plank gaps that are greater than
½” in width.

19 5.4 General Trail Accessibility
There are several pathway routes within the
Preserve that would be extremely difficult to
provide an accessible route (see map). This
includes the following areas:
 East pathway beyond Overlook.
 West area from the pathway split –
opposite direction from the Zigzag Bridge
 Pathway near Artesia Blvd wall.

These areas are either extremely steep or too
narrow, making accessibility improvements
difficult, if not impossible. This does not mean that
a significant portion of the Preserve could not be
made wheelchair accessible to some extent.

There are several benches located throughout the
Preserve along the existing pathways. Where
feasible, adjacent level spaces that are 36” wide
by 48” deep should be created for wheelchair
users.

In general, all pathways marked in green on the
Wetlands map should be cleared to provide 48”
wide walkways. Uneven or rutted surfaces in
these areas should be regraded and compacted.

Signage should be included throughout the
Preserve at all junctions to identify the
recommended accessible path of travel.

20 5.5 Overlook
The bridge to the Overlook viewing area is
generally accessible. The walking surface has
slopes less than 5% and is in good condition.

There is a bench provided at the Overlook and
there is adequate turning radius space within the
deck area. Similar to the Entry Bridge, there are
gaps in the planks as wide as 1”. These should be
modified to gaps no greater than ½” wide.

There are guardrails at all areas of the Overlook
Bridge and viewing area that are 42” high, meeting
compliance requirements for drop-offs greater
than 30” high.

21 5.6 Zigzag Bridge
The Zigzag bridge is on the most accessible route
to the Amphitheater and Educational Center areas.

It is generally accessible and provides a level route
across the wetlands area below. Similar to the
Entry Bridge and Overlook, the walking planks
have gaps up to 1” wide. These should be modified
to ½” maximum. The ground at the entry end of the
bridge has degraded and does not provide a level
transition. The surface should be releveled and
stabilized to provide a smooth level pedestrian
path.

The guardrails on either side of the bridge are 42”
high, meeting compliance requirements for dropoffs greater than 30” high.

23 5.8 Educational Center Area
The Educational Center Area includes a covered
gathering area, water bottle filling station and the
adjacent Garden of Health and nearby Mother
Nature’s Backyard.

5.8.1 Covered Gathering Area
There are two picnic tables located at the covered
area. Neither table have a dedicated wheelchair
space and takes up much of the hard surface area.

Additionally, the table blocks clear access to the
water bottle filling station unit provided at the back
of the gathering area. It is recommended that a
clear pathway be created to provide access to the
water bottle filling station. At least one of the tables should be replaced with one that provides an
accessible area on one end and be placed on the
accessible route.

The Garden of Health has narrow pathways and is
generally not accessible. However, this garden is
directly adjacent to the covered seating area. The
seating area provides adequate accessible
viewing of the garden.

5.8.3 Mother Nature’s Backyard
Mother Nature’s Backyard entry is overgrown and
has uneven surfaces. Inside the area much of the
walking surface is brick and provides an
acceptable route. However, the entry route should
be cleared and the transition from the dirt path to
the brick path should be leveled to eliminate this
barrier.

25 6.1 Site Summary
Location: 2100 W. 154th Place
Park area: 2.71 acres
Parking: 13 spaces
Play area: 5900 SF
George H. Freeman Park is a smaller park
located at the terminus of W. 154th Place and
Cimarron Way. It includes a children’s play area,
a basketball court with an adjacent ball wall, one
tennis court, one mini-pitch court, one baseball
field, a covered picnic area, a community
building and one free-standing single occupant
restroom.

There is inadequate pedestrian access into the park at the end of W. 154th Place. Additionally, there is a short site stairway with no handrails leading from Parron Avenue into the park on the south side. The walkway from the stair into the park stops after several feet and does not provide adequate access. This walkway should be extended into other walkways within the park.

6.2 Parking
The parking lot associated with Freeman Park is
strictly street-loaded along Cimarron Way. There
are a total of 13 parking spaces including one
accessible parking space and adjacent access
aisle. In general, the parking area and route to the
park include significant cross and running slopes
which exceed the maximum allowable.

6.3.1 Parking Space 1
This is the only accessible parking space provided
and is located at the far right end of the parking
area. Among this parking space’s deficiencies, the
slopes at this parking space are significantly out of compliance.

Areas requiring correction include:

1. Extend parking space striping to provide 18’ deep rectangular ‘box per CBC Figure 11B502.2.

2. When removing built-up ramp in access aisle, re-level surface in upper right corner to meet maximum slope limits.

26 6.3 Pathways
The pathway from the public right of way at W.
154th Place does not include an accessible route.

The sidewalk adjacent to the residential area stops
abruptly and the asphalt area is very steep.

Modification of the pathway that clearly identifies
the accessible path of travel should be included
with future work.

There is a pedestrian entrance to the park at the
north end of Parron Avenue. This concrete
walkway enters the park with a non-compliant stair.

The sidewalk ends abruptly at the top landing and
does not connect to any accessible path within the
park. Handrails should be added to the stair and
the concrete path should be extended to other
paths within the park.

The pedestrian route from the accessible parking
space is not defined and has non-compliant cross
slopes. Similar to the path of travel at 154th Place,
a new accessible path that is clearly identified
should be created. This work should be in
conjunction with modifications to the accessible
parking that creates a level surface. See Parking
section in this report.

32 6.6.5 Baseball/Softball Field
There is one baseball/softball field located on the
north side of the park. The field is in good condition
and is well maintained. The dugouts include
concrete walking surfaces and provide accessible
seating areas adjacent to the built-in benches.

However, the transitions from the dirt surface to the
concrete require monitoring and maintenance to
maintain an accessible traveling surface.

There are small bleachers on either side of the
field. While there is adequate paved surface
adjacent to both bleachers, the walking surfaces
have steep cross slopes, limiting accessibility to
each location. Significant asphalt modification is
required to provide adequate spectator access on
both sides of the field.

There is one level decomposed granite pathway leading into the park from the existing public right of way (public sidewalk). However, there are tree roots near the picnic area and play area which should be addressed to avoid tripping hazards and/or access barriers.

9.4 Play Area
There is one play area of approximately 2,600 SF.

The entire play surface is composed of loose sand
and is a barrier to the disabled. There is also a
raised concrete curb separating the play area from
the picnic area. The play equipment which
includes a steel slide, metal monkey bars, swings
and crawling tubes in the sand area is extremely
outdated and provide no accessible activity
features. All the play equipment should be
replaced, accessible play entry should be provided
and accessible surface material should be
installed in part or all of the play area.

5 10.2 General Site Accessibility
In general, the street-level area of Rowley Park along Van Ness Avenue and 132nd Street is a relatively level park. The two parking lots are directly adjacent to the various amenities within the park. There is a lowered park area on the southeast side of the park which has limited accessible routes from other amenities. This area does include concrete paths throughout, providing compliant access within this area. Two of the four baseball fields have no accessible routes to the spectator areas.

There are two dedicated pedestrian paths into the park along Van Ness Avenue on either side of the Recreation Building. However, the walkway on the north side includes a single step, preventing universal access from this location.

The north side of the park has three pedestrian access points into the park. There is one walkway entering just to the west of the skateboard park and provides access to the amenities between the skateboard park and the gymnasium building. There are also access pathways on either side of the tennis courts. These walkways show evidence of periodic grinding to level the surface. They also have areas where the cross slopes are greater than the code allows. These walkways should be replaced.

Compliant access to park amenities from the accessible parking at the 132nd Street parking lot is limited. The pathway from five accessible parking spaces (discussed later in this report) is in need of significant corrections. Additionally, based on the current pedestrian pathways provided from this parking lot, the only amenity served is the restroom building adjacent to the tennis courts.

There is a paved service road around the lower area on east and south perimeter of the park is commonly used by the public for access. While this walkway is in fairly good condition, a compliant access route to this pathway is non-existent. Within this lower area, there are several concrete walkways connecting discreet amenities within this area but not providing any access to the upper areas or either parking lot. At a minimum, a new compliant walk to the upper area is required. This may include a new ramp or sloped walk system.

Access to the baseball fields is minimal.

Baseball Field 1 is located in the southwest corner of the park. which all provide an accessible route into the park.

Baseball Field 2 is located directly adjacent to the Van Ness Avenue parking lot and accessible spaces. While there is no identified path of travel, there is adequate access to the spectator areas on both sides of this field.

Baseball Field 3 is the northeast field. It is the closest field to the 132nd Street parking lot, but has no accessible path to this parking lot. There is an existing drainage swale running along the north side of this field toward the Van Ness Avenue parking lot. While this concrete surface is used as a pedestrian route, it should not be considered an accessible route. The cross slopes are far too severe in both directions and this surface does not connect to any dedicated pathways.

Baseball Field 4 is the southeast field. It is located directly above Parking Space 4 and 5 and adjacent to the non-compliant Stair 1. The stairway is clearly not compliant and should not be considered accessible. It should be completely removed and replaced. It is also recommended that a new accessible ramp be built connecting the adjacent accessible parking spaces to this upper level amenity.

6 10.3 Accessible Parking
There are two separate parking lots located within this park.

Parking Lot 1 is located on the west and south side of the park and is accessed along Van Ness Avenue. There are three accessible parking spaces near the community building and gymnasium and two accessible parking spaces at the far southeast end of the parking lot near Baseball Field

4. The parking spaces in this lot are identified as Space 1 through Space 5.

Parking Lot 2 is located on the north side of the park along 132nd Street near the tennis courts and includes five accessible parking spaces. The parking spaces in this lot are identified as Space 6 through Space 10.

Following are the findings for parking spaces and access aisles in each parking lot.

10.3.1 Parking Lot 1 Accessible Parking
The accessible spaces in Parking Lot 1 are located in two separate areas. Spaces 1 through 3 are adjacent to the Rowley Gymnasium and Recreation Building. Spaces 4 and 5 are located on the south side of the baseball fields.

10.3.1.1 Parking Spaces 1 through 3 (and associated access aisles) Parking Spaces 1 though 3 are located directly
adjacent to the Rowley Gymnasium and Rowley
Recreation Building. The paved surface is
generally level and accessible paths of travel to
these two buildings as well as the basketball
courts, skateboard park and Playground 1 are
provided. The non-compliant issues include the
following:
 The parking striping and ISA’s require
repainting.
 Striping dimensions should be updated to
compliant widths and depths
 The signage is too low and not complete.
 Minor modifications of the pavement
surfaces are required.

See PK1, PK2, PK3, AA12, and AA23 Checklists
for complete information.

10.3.1.2 Parking Spaces 4 and 5 (and
associated access aisles)
Parking Spaces 4 and 5 are located just south of
Baseball Field 4. While these spaces require
minimal modifications to meet access
compliance requirements, they do not safely
connect to any accessible routes or amenities
within the park. In addition to the minor
modifications to these spaces, accessible routes
should be created to connect to the lower park
Parking Spaces 1 through 3
Parking Spaces 4 and 5
Tool 3: Inventory of Parks, Facilities, & Programs 344
City of Gardena | Parks and Recreation Master Plan
7 area as well as baseball fields (and specifically Baseball Field 4). This should include a new sidewalk to the lower park area and a ramp and new stair system to the upper baseball fields.

See PK4, PK5 and AA45 Checklists for complete information.

10.3.2 Parking Lot 2 Accessible Parking
Parking Spaces 6 through 10 (and associated
access aisles and curb ramps) are severely
non-compliant. The entire area should be
removed and reconfigured to comply with
current codes. The non-compliant issues include
the following:
 The parking spaces are not deep
enough.
 Several of the spaces are not wide
enough.
 There are no valid van accessible
spaces.
 In some areas the slopes are very steep.
 The access aisles are not wide enough.
 None of the curb ramps are compliant.
 The entire area required repaving.
 There are limited accessible routes to
park amenities.

See PK6 through PK10 Checklists for parking
space details.

See AA through AAA Checklists for access aisle
details.

8 10.4 Playground Areas
There are three separate play areas located in the park. Play Area 1 is the only area that has been updated with new equipment in the early 2000s.

10.4.1 Play Area 1
The main play area is located near 132nd
Street between the skateboard park, Rowley
Gymnasium and the basketball courts. There
are five different play equipment elements
including two large play structures and three
swing sets. The ground surface includes
areas of sand and areas of padded rubber
material. All of the play equipment was
updated in the early 2000s and meets current
accessibility standards. There are a few
padded surface areas that are worn and
require patching.

There are two benches along the concrete
walkway around the perimeter of the play
area. Both have adjacent concrete surface for
wheelchair users.

10.4.1.1 Play Structure 1
This play structure is designed for children
ages 5 to 12. It was originally installed in the
early 2000s and is in good condition. It
includes 5 ground level play components
areas and 4 elevated play components.

These include the following:
 Ground Level
o Ladder
o Overhead Rings
o Overhead Spinning Ring
o Climbing Tower
o Play Countertop
 Elevated
o Double Slide
o Curved Slide
o Bridge
o Corkscrew Pole
Based on five elevated play components, a minimum of two accessible ground level play components are required. While the overhead rings are on the accessible route, all other ground level play equipment is located on sand surfaces and generally not accessible. The padded ground surface should be extended to at least one additional ground level play component.

9 This play structure also includes one transfer platform located on the padded rubberized material.

The top of the platform is 15” above the ground surface (compliant). The flat surface is greater than 24” wide by 14” deep (compliant).

10.4.1.2 Play Structure 2
This play structure is designed for children
ages 2 to 5. It was originally installed in the
early 2000s and is in good condition. It
includes 4 ground level play components
areas and 4 elevated play components.

These include the following:
 Ground Level
o Climbing Blocks
o Play Countertop
o Ladder
o Play Booth
 Elevated
o Double Slide
o Bridge
o Corkscrew Pole
Based on three elevated play components, a minimum of one accessible ground level play component is required and is provided.

This play structure also includes one transfer platform located on the padded rubberized material.

The top of the platform is 15” above the ground surface (compliant). The flat surface is greater than 24” wide by 14” deep (compliant).

In general, this play structure provides full accessibility and requires no modifications.

10 10.4.1.3 Swings with Bucket Seats
(2 structures)
There are two separate swing sets with bucket
seats, providing swinging for four children. One of
the buckets is located on the padded surface,
providing required accessibility to this type of play
equipment.

10.4.1.4 Swings with Belt Seats
(1 structure)
There is a single belt type swing set provided with
swinging for four individuals. One of the swings is
located on the padded surface, providing required
accessibility to this type of play equipment.

However, as noted above, the padded material
under the accessible swing is worn and requires
repair.

11 10.4.2 Play Area 2
This play area is located in the lower park area on
the southeast side of the park just north of Picnic
Area 3. It includes a wooden play structure, an
older metal slide, swings and a metal monkey bar
structure. The entire area is on a sand surface and
has no compliant access into it. All structures
should be removed and replaced with equipment
that provides accessible equipment with
accessible surfaces.

10.4.3 Play Area 3
This play area contains a single swing structure
which is extremely old and in very poor condition.

Like Play Area 2, the ground surface is sand and
provides no accessibility. This swing set should be
removed and replaced with accessible equipment.

Accessible surfaces should be included when
renovating this space.

12 10.5 Picnic Areas
There are three separate covered picnic
areas throughout the park. These areas have
been inspected for access compliance.

Additionally, there is expansive grass areas
throughout the park. These areas are not
subject to access compliance requirements.

10.5.1 Picnic Area 1
This covered picnic area is located adjacent
to the playground that faces 132nd Street. It is
a level surfaced concrete area. Currently
there are no tables provided in this area. It
appears to have a capacity of approximately
3 to 4 tables. Based on this count, at least two
accessible seating areas should be provided
with any new tables.

10.5.2 Picnic Area 2
This covered picnic area is located south of
the large parking lot down a sloping hillside.

There are a total of 5 picnic tables provided in
this area. Based on 6 to 8 persons per table,
this provides a total seating capacity of 30 to
40 persons. New tables should be provided
with a minimum of 3 accessible seating
areas. This area also has one older noncompliant barbeque located on the grass area. This unit should be removed and
replaced with a new compliant barbeque. A
compliant path to the new barbeque and clear
space should be provided when replaced.

13 10.5.3 Picnic Area 3
This picnic area is the largest covered picnic
facility within the park. It is located in the far
southeast corner of the park. It contains ten
8-person tables throughout the covered area,
providing seating for 80 persons. Two of the
tables appear to be intended for accessible
seating. However, the table legs block clear
accessible seating. It does not appear that
these tables can be modified to meet
compliance requirements. When replacing
tables in other areas of the park, a minimum
of four tables should be replaced in this area
with ones that provide accessible seating
spaces.

14 10.6 Sports Facilities
There are a variety of sports facilities located in Rowley Park, providing many types of sports activities for the Gardena community.

10.6.1 Basketball Courts
There is one full basketball court and two half
courts located on the northwest side of the
park near the Rowley Gymnasium and
Recreation Buildings. There is full level
access around the courts and there is
adequate spectator space provided. The
courts are showing some minor cracking, but
accessibility is not reduced.

There are two metal benches located
between the two half courts. These benches
are in poor condition and should be replaced.

10.6.2 Skateboard Park
The skateboard park is located on the north side of the park adjacent to Play Area 1. There is adequate access into and around the skateboard park. Accessible spectator space around the park is also provided. No accessibility modifications are required at the skateboard park.

Basketball Courts
Skateboard Park Benches at Basketball Courts
Tool 3: Inventory of Parks, Facilities, & Programs 352
City of Gardena | Parks and Recreation Master Plan
15 10.6.3 Tennis Courts
There are four tennis courts located on the north
side of the park between the skateboard park and
the 132nd Street parking lot. Accessible routes to
the tennis courts from the adjacent parking lot or
the restroom building are not provided. The
walkway from the parking lot has a step up from
the pavement. Additionally, there is no continuous
paved pathway from the restrooms to the tennis
courts.

There is a pedestrian route around the tennis
courts to the activity areas near the gymnasium.

However, the concrete walkway is showing signs
of heaving in various places. It appears that the
walkway has been ground down multiple times to
address the uneven surface. It is recommended
that the walkway be removed and replaced with
new reinforced concrete that has adequately
compacted base to prevent heaving in the future.

The gates on the west side of the tennis courts are
padlocked. The only entrance in use are the two
gates on the east side. The hardware is mounted
slightly above acceptable reach ranges and is
difficult to operate. New accessible hardware
should be installed within acceptable reach
ranges.

16 10.6.4 Baseball Fields
Rowley Park includes four baseball fields on
the south side of the park. Fields 1 and 2 are
located immediately adjacent to the Van Ness
Avenue parking lot. Fields 3 and 4 are located
on the east side of this portion of the park.

Access to these four fields is discussed
earlier above in this section. In general, new
accessible paths of travel should be installed
connecting all four baseball fields to other
amenities within the park.

10.6.4.1 Baseball Field 1
Field 1 is the southwest baseball field. It is
immediately adjacent to the Van Ness Avenue
Parking lot and Restroom Building 2. There
are bleachers set on asphalt on both sides of
the field. While the area is level and provides
ample maneuvering space, it is
recommended that the asphalt be resurfaced
to provide a smooth surface. Additionally,
there is no protected separation between
much of the spectator area and the parking
lot. Some form of barrier protection should be
installed. The unmarked pedestrian route
from the accessible parking spaces near the
gymnasium to this field is limited. The
pathway at the head of the parked cars is
narrow and there is a large overhead light
pole that narrows the pathway down to 24”. A
better dedicated path should be created
connecting this field to other areas within the
park and the accessible parking spaces.

The dugouts on both sides of the field have a
concrete surface and space available for
wheelchair seating. However, the transitions
between the dirt infield and the dugouts
require ongoing maintenance to maintain a
level surface.

There are steps leading from the parking lot
onto the right field infield and dugout. This
should be modified to provide an accessible
route to the dugout and field of play.

17 10.6.4.2 Baseball Field 2
Field 2 is the northwest baseball field. It is
also located immediately adjacent to the Van
Ness Avenue parking lot and the accessible
parking spaces. Similar to Field 1, there is no
separation between the spectator area and
the parking lot. Protection barriers should be
installed to separate the areas.

The dugouts have concrete surfaces with
space for a wheelchair on the entry side of the
enclosure. However, the transitions between
the dirt infield and the concrete dugout
surfaces are uneven and require ongoing
maintenance. Extending the concrete surface
may provide better accessibility.

Field 3 is the northeast field. There are no
accessible routes to this field. As noted
above, there is a concrete drainage swale
that is used as a pathway from the Van Ness
Avenue parking lot, but this is not an
accessible path. A new compliant concrete
pathway connecting this field to other areas
of the park is strongly recommended.

Additionally, the bleachers on the first base
side have a steep incline to access them. This
needs to be corrected to meet access
standards. The bleachers on the third base
side also have no pathway connecting them
to any other areas.

19 10.6.4.4 Baseball Field 4
Field 4 is the southwest field. It is just above
accessible parking spaces 4 and 5, however
there is no accessible route between this field
and the parking lot or other park amenities.

Bleachers are located strictly behind home
plate and the third base side of the field. They
are quite close together and do not provide
any usable space for persons in wheelchairs.

The concrete area on the first base side does
not have any bleachers. It is recommended
that the bleachers be redistributed to provide
more open space. Additionally, clear paths at
least 48” wide should be created to allow
passage around both spectator sides.

The dugouts have concrete surfaces with
adequate wheelchair space within the
dugouts. However, the transitions between
the dirt infield and the dugouts require routine
maintenance to provide level surface for
maneuverability.

20 10.6.5 Fitness Equipment Stations
There are two separate locations in the lower
area of the park with fairly recently added
fitness equipment. Access to the equipment
is via the concrete walkways within the lower
park area. Several of the fitness equipment
stations are identified as ADA accessible and
provide fully compliant exercise equipment.

There is a parallel bar area adjacent to the
newer fitness equipment. This unit is quite old
and is mounted on hard pack dirt. The bar
system should be replaced and the ground
surface should be removed and replaced with
material similar to the fitness equipment
space.

There is an older concrete skating rink
located in the center of the lower park area. It
appears to no longer be in use for skating. If
this space is to be repurposed for other uses
that require accessibility, the entry slopes on
the south and east side will need to be revised
to meet 5% running slope requirements.

22 10.7 Restroom Buildings
There is one older restroom building located adjacent to the 132nd Street parking lot. It includes gender-specific restrooms which are opened for use by city employees during regular hours.

Additionally, there is a new restroom building adjacent to the baseball fields and parking lot along Van Ness Avenue. This building includes two accessible individual toilet rooms and two nonaccessible toilet rooms.

10.7.1 Restroom Building 1
This older freestanding restroom building is
located near the southwest corner of the
tennis courts and adjacent to the 132nd Street
parking lot. It has two multiple occupant
gender-specific restrooms and one obsolete
single bowl drinking fountain. The restrooms
are in fair condition but require moderate
repair work to meet current access
requirements.

Required improvements to these restrooms
include the following:
 Compliant geometric signage is
required.
 Replace damaged door signs.
 Provide pipe insulation on pipes under
lavatories.
 Lower various accessories at
lavatories to compliant heights.
 Repair toilet compartment hardware.
 Remove and reinstall toilet paper
dispensers in compliant locations.

See RR1 and RR2 Checklists for complete
details.

There is a single older drinking fountain on the
southwest side of the restroom building. This
unit is not compliant and should be removed
and replaced with a new unit or a new
standalone drinking fountain/water bottle
filling station should be installed in the vicinity
of this building.

While these restrooms provide adequate facilities to this portion of the park, there are no accessible routes from this building to any site amenities other than the non-compliant accessible parking spaces in the 132nd Street parking lot. New concrete pathways should be installed connecting this building to the tennis courts, skateboard park, Playground 1 and other areas in the northwest side of the park. Additionally, a dedicated compliant pathway should be installed connecting this building (as well as the 132nd Street parking lot) to the lower open space located Original Restroom Building

10.7.2 Restroom Building 2
This restroom building is located directly to
the west of the baseball/softball fields at the
Van Ness Avenue parking lot. It is a recent
replacement facility to an older restroom
building, having been completed in 2022. It
includes four individual toilet rooms (two of
which are designed as accessible) and two
exterior lavatories on the east side of the
building. Adjacent to the lavatories is a new
drinking fountain/water bottle filling station,
also included in this recent renovation. No
accessibility modifications to this building are
required.

25 11.1 Site Summary
Location: 13220 Van Ness Avenue
Rowley Gymnasium is an existing building located
adjacent to the west parking lot and Van Ness
Avenue. The building has one full basketball court
with bleachers on one wall. There are genderspecific restrooms located off the main lobby. The building also has a recently outfitted computer lab
available to the public.

11.2 General Accessibility and Lobby
The entry door to the gymnasium building is an
automatic sliding glass door. It provides full
accessibility into the building. There is also
another sliding glass door between the lobby and
the gymnasium space. This door is also fully
accessible.

See DR1 and DR2 Checklists for complete
details.

There is a single drinking fountain located in the
lobby. There are minor corrections required for
this drinking fountain. Primarily, the unit requires
protection on either side of the unit. Ideally, a
second higher unit should be installed to provide
use for standing individuals.

See DF1 Checklist for complete details.

26 11.3 Restrooms
There are two gender-specific multiple occupant restrooms located off the lobby. While these restrooms are in moderately compliant condition, there are areas in need of accessibility repairs.

These include the following:
 Install correct wall signage.
 Relocate geometric signage to exterior side of doors.  Service automatic door openers (if they are to be used)  Correct accessible lavatory heights.
 Wrap all pipes under lavatories.
 Adjust mirror heights (where applicable)
 Adjust lavatory accessory heights.
 Make necessary repairs to toilet compartment doors and hardware.  Adjust toilet offsets from side wall.
 Adjust toilet grab bar locations.
 Relocate toilet paper dispensers to compliant locations.  Adjust coat hook location (where applicable.

See RR1 and RR2 Checklists for complete details.

28 11.4 Computer Lab
There is a recently remodeled computer lab
on the left side of the lobby. There is a single
inswinging dutch door entering from the lobby
space. The lab has five desk stations with
countertops at 29” and 28” clear underneath.

All stations are 47” wide by 24” deep and
provide adequate access. The floor surface is
new laminate flooring and provides a smooth
surface for maneuverability. All computer
workstations provide adequate access for the
disabled. No workstation modifications are
required.

See DR3 Checklist for entry door details.

29 11.5 Gymnasium
The gymnasium can be configured as one basketball court with bleachers on one side or two side by side basketball courts with the bleachers retracted. There is adequate level space around the courts for access. Additionally, there is space on the entry end of the bleachers for floor level wheelchair seating. However, there is no dedicated space within the bleachers when fully extended for wheelchair space in the middle of the bleacher seating area. Modifying the bleachers in the future to provide additional accessible seating space should be considered.

30 12.1 Site Summary
Location: 13220 Van Ness Avenue
Rowley Recreation Center is an existing
building located in the northwest corner of
Rowley Park near the corner of Van Ness
Avenue and 132nd Street. This building is
used for various larger gatherings. The
building includes one large meeting/assembly
room, two multiple-occupant gender-specific
restrooms and a lobby with a drinking
fountain/water bottle filling station.

12.2 General Accessibility and
Lobby
The recreation building has an automatic
sliding entry door from the exterior. It provides
unimpeded access into the building and
requires no accessibility modifications.

There is also a swinging door between the
lobby and the assembly space. The door is
equipped with automatic openers on both
side. While the generally meets accessibility
dimensional requirements, the automatic
openers were not functioning and makes
accessibility difficult. The openers need to be
serviced and repaired as necessary.

The lobby provides access directly into the
assembly room as well as the restrooms.

There is a clear path of travel to all interior
public spaces.

See DR1 and DR2 Checklists for complete
details.

31 There is one drinking fountain/water bottle filling station within the lobby. There is no drinking fountain for standing individual. While there is full access within the lobby space, there is no required side protection on either side of the unit. Rails should be installed on either side to meet this requirement.

See DF1 Checklist for complete details.

32 12.3 Restrooms
There are two separate gender-specific multiple occupant restrooms located at the front of the building near the lobby. Access into both restrooms is unimpeded. However, both restrooms are equipped with automatic door openers which were not operational at the time of the inspection.

Testing of the door pressure and closing speeds was not possible. There are also several other non-compliant
issues that should be addressed. One of the most
significant issues to correct is the width of the accessible toilet compartments in both restrooms. Adjustment of the partitions may require significant redesigning of the
restrooms.

Areas requiring correction in both restrooms include the following:
 Automatic Door Openers need to be repaired.
 Door signage at both restrooms require
correction/relocation.
 Minor repair work at the accessible lavatories in
both restrooms.
 Relocation of lavatory accessories to meet height
requirements.
 Accessible toilet compartment door handles need
to be installed.
 Modification of the accessible toilet compartment
widths.
 Adjustment of the grab bar locations.
 Relocation of the toilet paper dispensers to below
side grab bars with compliant offsets.
 Adjustment of coat hook locations.

See RR1 and RR2 Checklists for complete details.

Who is Gardena?
A Community Profile
Understanding the demographic
context of a community can create a
valuable perspective for understanding
current parks and recreation facility
and program requirements and,
moreover, for anticipating parks and
recreation facility and program needs
in the future. A complete demographics
analysis was developed utilizing the
Environmental Systems Research
Institute (Esri) 2022 demographic
datasets. This information helps to gain
a deeper understanding of “whom”
the community is and “where” they are
geographically. Exhibit 1 illustrates the
2022 demographic profile for the City of
Gardena, California.

Five community characteristics have
been prepared as a foundation for
understanding City residents’ recreation
needs and preferences now and in the future.
• Population estimates and forecasts;
• Age distribution;
• Household information;
• Household income; and
• Tapestry lifemode groups.

POPULATION ESTIMATES AND FORECASTS
Exhibit 2, Gardena Population Growth,
presents a twenty-two year history of
population growth within the area.

As the data illustrates, the population
during the 2010 to 2022 time frame has
increased from 58,829 residents to 61,543
residents, reflecting a 4.6% change,
with approximately 226 new residents
documented each year on average.

The Esri forecast data set indicates this trend will slow down and the population will decrease to 61,068 by 2027. The five year growth from 2022 to 2027 of -0.8% is above the County’s average growth rate of -1.9% change from 2022 to 2027. The forecasted population for the City of Gardena in 2032 is 61,794.

City of Gardena | Parks and Recreation Master Plan
b. Park Acreage Analysis
The Gardena General Plan has a goal of
3 acres per 1,000 persons. The city needs
approximately 135.6 acres (185 acres of
parkland total) of additional parkland
to reach the 3 acres per 1,000 parkland
acreage goal.

The City has recently acquired two (2)
properties that will increase the City’s Park
acreage. These two opportunity sites are:
• Chase Bank Building Site (approximately
1 acre)
• Thornburg Park Expansion (approximately

0.1 acre)
Rosecrans Park and Recreation Center (10.3
acres), a County of Los Angeles park that
is on the city border of Gardena and West
Rancho Dominguez, is not included in the
city-owned parkland acreage.

Opportunities to increase the City’s Park
acreage could also be accomplished
through joint use of public-school athletic
fields. The City does not currently have a
joint use agreement with the school district.

Creating new parks in the City of Gardena
faces challenges due to the densely
developed urban landscape and the
expensive real estate market. Despite these
limitations, community members can still
benefit from adding smaller green spaces
and improving existing recreational areas.

Acreage Analysis
The City of Gardena currently has nine
(9) parks and two (2) recreation buildings
which encompasses 49.4 acres of
developed parkland and open space.

Based on the park acreage identified
above and the City’s 2022 population of
38,134, the City currently has:

City of Gardena | Parks and Recreation Master Plan
Tool 8: Recommendations and CIP
This is the city’s first Parks and Recreation Master Plan and will serve as a guide and implementation tool for the management and development of parks and recreation facilities throughout the city. This document represents a summary of the community outreach, research, and professional analysis conducted. The culminating result is a community inspired plan for the future of parks and recreation in the City of Gardena.

The process began with a review of pertinent planning documents, existing park resources, and recreation opportunities. Following the initial inventory, a community outreach campaign was developed. In-person workshops, online video presentations, one-on-one stakeholder interviews, a statistically-valid multimodal survey, public online surveys, and direct website feedback were conducted to analyze the community recreation demand in the city. Throughout the process, project updates and summary results were posted to the project website. This website enabled community members to review updates and provide immediate feedback at any point during the project. This resource allowed anyone in the community to have a voice in the process regardless of when and where meetings were held.

The Master Plan includes capital improvements of $39,759,250 ($30,299,250 in planned projects and $9,460,000 in unplanned projects). Based on the findings, this Master Plan outlines key park and facility improvements as well as maintenance recommendations identified in Section Four, detailed reports of these analysis are available in the appendix. The following are key strategies developed to balance the available inventory with the community’s recreational desires.

Each of the following recommended key strategies are designed to balance the equation of where existing recreation resources exist and how they relate to the needs of the community.

Through this analysis recreation development can flourish and continue to support a thriving outdoor community.

Key Strategy #1: Preserve the city’s most cherished resources through enhanced maintenance support and park improvements.

Goal 1.1: Increase funding and staffing for park and facility maintenance to address aging infrastructure and upkeep challenges.

Goal 1.2: Develop a lifecycle replacement schedule for playgrounds, focusing on redesigning older playgrounds and incorporating universal design standards.

Goal 1.3: Implement renovations suggested in the CASP Study report, including upgrades to older community buildings to maintain current codes and standards.

Public Works Department
Maintenance and Operation Management Plan
Purpose of the Plan
Public Works and Recreation/Human Services are tied closely together. This means any new infrastructure developed in the recreation system will increase the maintenance components (staffing, funding, or contract labor increases). Furthermore, this is also true with the development of new programs and large community events. Several functions of the Public Works Department are not easily categorized within standard funding matrices.

Many aspects of their workload are difficult to accurately quantify and predict, including nonprescriptive or unscheduled tasks such as vandalism repair, special event coverage, resident, and City Council requests. These elements are done in addition to the standard maintenance schedules.

Balancing the scales of recreation programming and facilities with public works maintenance support is critical for the continued growth of the city. The purpose of the Maintenance and Operation Management Plan is to define recommended maintenance practices for the City of Gardena’s Public Works Department (“Department”) for maintaining modern high-quality parks, open spaces, recreation sites and assets. Some of these maintenance practices are currently being provided, while others are recommendations for the Department as staff and funding becomes available.

The Maintenance and Operation Management Plan is a living document, and will assist the Department to improve the identification, justification, and prioritization of maintenance requirements for park and recreation sites and assets. This is achieved by establishing a clear quantification of resources necessary to maintain the current system as high‐quality, accounting for aging facilities that continually deteriorate from use, as well as incorporating sites and assets being considered for addition to the City of Gardena through the master planning process. This includes consideration of sustainability factors, existing conditions of the current inventory, as well as additional sites and assets that are being considered.
