DISCUSSION:
The City of Pomona (City) currently has two skate parks, one at Palomares Park and one at Martin Luther King, Jr. Park. The latter will be remodeled as part of the City’s CIP Project “Martin Luther King, Jr. Park – Skate Park Expansion/Lights,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71092. Upon completion, the new skate park at Kennedy Park (District 1) will be the third of its kind in the City.
At the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on the March 21, 2024, the Commission heard a presentation on and discussed potential skate park and amenities expansion. At their next meeting on April 18, 2024, the Commission again discussed this topic and recommended that a skate park at Kennedy Park would be the best location for a variety of reasons, including its proximity to Marshall Middle School and Ganesha High School.
The Community Services Department has savings in the Hourly line items in their Custodial Services and Afterschool Recreation (Youth) funds and savings in the Furniture and Equipment line item in the Afterschool Recreation (Youth) fund. By using this money to develop a skate park at Kennedy Park, additional opportunities for youth programming will be available to facilitate exercise and additional recreational programming.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES & GOALS:
This item supports Priority 4 Safe and Clean Community: Invest in public safety, community programming, and maintenance of properties and infrastructure to ensure residents, businesses, visitors, and employees feel safe, neighborhoods reflect the beauty of Pomona, and the community feels a sense of pride and ownership of the City.
