To effectively engage the community for the PNA, which is set to begin in early 2025, The Robert Group (TRG) in teaming with OLIN will employ an approach that is inclusive, comprehensive, and tailored to the city’s diverse population. The strategy will factor in demographic diversity, urban development, existing amenities, and resident needs throughout the assessment process, leading to a more vibrant, healthy, and connected community.

The engagement process will unfold in three phases throughout 2025, with an emphasis on community meetings held across LA. These meetings will serve as the foundation for gathering feedback on park priorities and public satisfaction, consisting of a variety of in-person sessions, virtual meetings, and equity-focused workshops.

Beyond community meetings, additional outreach efforts will include distributing a citywide survey to stakeholder focus groups, community events, and social media to capture input on public satisfaction and future park needs. TRG will additionally participate in pop-up events across the city to reach a wider audience and gather informal feedback from a broad audience. To ensure accessibility, TRG will translate key public collateral into Spanish and potentially three other languages, helping facilitate meaningful dialogue and ensuring the PNA reflects the diverse needs of Los Angeles residents.
