The Santa Ana City Council approves the first Parks Master Plan

Posted on May 19, 2022 by Editor Posted in Civic Affairs, Parks and Recreation, Santa Ana Leave a comment

The Santa Ana City Council unanimously approved the City of Santa Ana’s first Parks Master Plan on Tuesday, May 17, to guide its investment in parks, facilities, trails, and open space over the next 10 years.

This document addresses park access citywide with a goal of making more parks and programs available to everyone in one of the most densely populated and park-poor cities in the region.

The Parks Master Plan:

Defines the City’s mission for parks and recreation.
Identifies community priorities for park system enhancements and improvements, including increases in parkland from 1.1 acres for every 1,000 residents to 1.5 acres per 1,000 residents as the first step, with a long-range goal to provide 3 acres of parkland for every 1,000 residents in the future.
Addresses park access and equity issues on a citywide scale, identifying 43 areas that are “park deficient.”
Provides an overarching investment strategy to increase parkland, diversify recreation options, and sustain existing assets to support community livability, park safety, trail connectivity, health and wellness, and our quality of life.
The Parks Master Plan was developed through an 18-month process that combined broad resident and stakeholder engagement with a data-driven technical analysis to identify community needs. City staff, key stakeholders and city leaders formed a Project Advisory Group that worked together to ensure the plan reflects the aspirations and goals of Santa Ana.

The City currently manages 54 parks, nine joint-use school sites, and approximately 13 miles of off-street trails for recreational use. These sites support a variety of indoor and outdoor facilities and programs.

The Santa Ana Parks and Rec Executive Director is retiring

Posted on April 5, 2022 by Editor Posted in Parks and Recreation, Santa Ana Leave a comment

Lisa Rudloff has done an amazing job since becoming the Executive Director of Santa Ana’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency back in 2018 but she has decided to retire. She has been community by rail from north San Diego all this time and we are sure she will enjoy not having to travel as much as she heads to retirement.

Rudloff came to Santa Ana from the City of Irvine where she was their Deputy Director of Community Services. Before that she was the Director of Parks & Recreation at the City of Encinitas.

Rudloff was able to restore order to the Parks and Recreation budget; she helped to bring in millions of dollars in public grants for the Parks and Rec agency and she focused on repairing and restoring our parks and community centers.

They City of Santa Ana has posted to replace Rudloff on Twitter. Interested applicants must apply for the position by April 30 here.

Rudloff will leave big shoes to fill!

North Santa Ana has a new homegrown skate park

Posted on March 29, 2022 by Editor Posted in Development, Neighborhood Associations, Parks and Recreation, Santa Ana, Skateboards 2 Comments

North Santa Ana NIMBYs stopped a luxury apartment development at 2525 N. Main St. The office building that was at that location was burned by transients and eventually had to be demolished.

The enterprising locals have turned the empty lot into a skate park of their own creation complete with several homemade ramps.

The City of Santa Ana would never put a city skate park at Santiago Park because of course the NIMBYs would not have it. But now that is exactly what they are stuck with – but worse it is an illicit and unpermitted skate park.

By now the lot should be a luxury apartment development that would have generated millions of dollars in annual tax revenue for the City of Santa Ana.

The NIMBYs won the development battle but it was a pyrrhic victory. But the locals are sure enjoying their new skate park!

Soccer Mini-Pitch opens at Delhi Park in Santa Ana

Posted on March 17, 2022 by Editor Posted in Parks and Recreation, Santa Ana, Soccer, Youth Activities Leave a comment

SANTA ANA, Calif. – Youth soccer players were joined by professional footballers on Wednesday, March 16, to try out a new soccer mini-pitch that was unveiled during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Delhi Park.

The hard-surface mini-pitch was made possible through a partnership between The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation, the U.S. Soccer Foundation, the Orange County Soccer Club (OCSC), and the City of Santa Ana. City officials, representatives from the partner organizations, community members, and OCSC players Michael Orozco and Erick “El Cubo” Torres joined in the opening celebration.

The project was made possible through funding from the U.S. Soccer Foundation and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation as part of the United for Girls initiative. The City of Santa Ana allocated $120,000 in acquisition and development funds.

The Orange County Soccer Club will provide free soccer clinics for girls and boys, youth camps, and other activities at the mini-pitch.

“The mini-pitch at Delhi Park is one of 15 that we are installing across the country by the end of 2022 in partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation,” said Aimee Watters, Executive Director, The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation. “We are motivated every day to support young athletes and are delighted to bring this mini-pitch to Santa Ana.”

“We are thrilled to open this mini-pitch at Delhi Park with our partners at The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation, the City of Santa Ana, and Orange County Soccer Club,” said Sarah Pickens, Associate Vice President of Programs at the U.S. Soccer Foundation. “This new mini-pitch will provide easier access to play and enable more girls and boys to join a team and gain all the lifelong benefits that come with playing our game.”

“We are honored to join with our partners in the grand opening of the incredible Delhi Park Mini-Pitch. OCSC along with the OCSC Community Foundation are committed to enriching the lives of our fans in Orange County providing health and wellness opportunities through our beautiful game,” said Jeff Garner, President of Business Relations. “We’ll be providing monthly clinics, camps, tournaments and special event programming as we expand our pathway to professional soccer footprint in Santa Ana.”

Delhi Park is located at 2314 S. Halladay St., at the corner of Warner Avenue. For more information about OCSC soccer clinics at the mini-pitch, visit https://www.orangecountysoccer.com/mini-pitch.

The Santa Ana Zoo breaks ground on a new Giant River Otter and Primate Habitat

SANTA ANA, Calif. – A new exhibit that will showcase giant river otters swimming through a waterfall while monkeys play above is coming to the Santa Ana Zoo at Prentice Park.

The Santa Ana Zoo had a ceremonial groundbreaking Friday, January 14, for the giant river otter habitat and primate trails renovation and expansion at the Amazon’s Edge exhibit. The $6.6 million project is the most complex that the Zoo has undertaken and will bring new life and an immersive experience for guests and animals alike. It is expected to open in summer 2023.

The project is the first phase of the Zoo’s Master Plan for further development and is made possible by $6 million in parks improvement funds from the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Agency and $600,000 from the Friends of the Santa Ana Zoo in the form of grants and donations.

Zoo visitors will be able to venture to the river’s edge to get up close with the otters in a new underwater viewing area, and get immersed with the monkeys as they trek overhead exploring a new treetop trail system and habitat. Via a series of enclosed exploration routes, the monkeys will have the ability to safely move through a network of see-through mesh trail ways.

Below the trail system, a 15-foot waterfall will spill into a crystal-clear pool where the otters frolic and play. The largest of the otter species, the endangered giant river otter is rarely displayed in zoos. Educational signage throughout the project will provide natural history and conservation information, and will give guests a better understanding of a resource often taken for granted – water.

The Santa Ana Zoo is home to more than 260 animals and is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The Zoo is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Zoo is located at 1801 E. Chestnut Ave., Santa Ana, CA 92701. For more information call 714-836-4000 or visit www.santaanazoo.org.
