Title: La Mesa Parks Master Plan
Description: The City of La Mesa has developed a Parks Master Plan to identify improvements to the parks system necessary to meet both current and future community needs for parks, open space, and urban respite areas. There are currently 14 parks distributed throughout the City totaling 144 acres. In support of the Community Wellness Policy adopted in 2006, the Master Plan recognizes the importance of exercise as one element of a healthy lifestyle. Thus, the Master Plan focuses on improving accessibility to parks by enhancing pedestrian connectivity through the repair and installation of missing sidewalk segments and removal of access barriers (i.e., improving unsafe street crossings, curb cuts, lighting and related safety deficiencies that deter pedestrian access). The Parks Master Plan is intended to work in tandem with the Bicycle Facilities and Alternative Transportation Plan adopted in February 2012 to create safe pedestrian and bicycle routes that will encourage residents to walk and bicycle to local parks.
