Perkins Park - Landscape Plan
The Perkins Park Landscape Plan, funded as part of the FY19/20 Capital Improvement Program, developed a vegetation management plan for Perkins Park, from Lovers Point to Esplanade. The Plan provides the City with a maintenance plan and blueprints to ensure the beloved park flourishes.
On November 4, 2020, the City Council authorized staff to move forward with the landscape maintenance activities to enhance existing park conditions, to the extent feasible given the City’s current budget and staffing constraints (Section 1 of the Landscape Management Plan).
As part of the FY21/22 Capital Improvement Program, the City has funded the development of a Management Plan for the natural areas of George Washington Park.
A draft Forest Management Plan is now available for public review. Please submit all comments to pwoutreach@cityofpacificgrove.org by 5:00 pm on September 14, 2022.
The item is tentatively scheduled for review at the October 12, 2022, Beautification and Natural Resources Commission (BNRC). Subsequently, the plan will be brought forth to the City Council.
The Park Inventory was developed by the City's Recreation Board in 2021. The document provides a comprehensive registry and conditions assessment of existing park assets.
