800 Parents and Kids Want Playable Field Space in Santa Monica…

But the working group recommendations for the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium property include—drum roll—a high rise hotel!

This in spite of the assurances made to local families as Tongva Park was developed:

“According to the 2002 Civic Center Specific Plan, there was to be a high intensity multiple use park (Tongva Park) with the understanding that there would also be real open space at the corner of 4th and Pico. It is now time to deliver on that promise”.  The Need for Civic Center Open Space, by Mario  Fonda-­Bonardi AIA  for  SMart, letter dated September 26, 2014 to the Santa Monica Lookout.

Time to remind Santa Monica’s government what was promised. Join the Save the Civic Center Field Facebook Group’s rally. Show up and speak up at the Civic Working Group meeting May 20 at 6:30 pm at the Civic Auditorium. Free parking.

If you can’t go, email civic@smgov.net and Council@smgov.net to let them know it is time to keep their promise to local families on the field space. Get your neighbors involved.
