Kenilworth Park is the only active community park serving the mid-town area and is need of new functional playground equipment, grading and drainage repairs, tree work, park amenities, and site improvements to serve the community's growing needs. On June 5, 2018, California voters passed the California Drought, Water, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All,
Act of 2018 (Proposition 68). Funding was made available to qualified cities based on population (i.e., per-capita) and intended for local park rehabilitation, creation, and
improvement through grants to local governments. Grant recipients are encouraged to utilize funds to rehabilitate existing infrastructure and to address deficiencies in neighborhoods lacking access to the outdoors. Kenilworth Park has been identified for investment utilizing Proposition 68 funds, leveraging funding by community service clubs and capital sponsors with the aim of expanding the scope of potential park improvements. Initially, Proposition 68 funds will be used to repair and improve park pathways for greater access, in addition to critical site improvements such as site grading and drainage repairs that lay a foundation for future improvements.
