Palisades Recreation Center Playground Survey:
Three different designs, proposed by RAP and CD11, are offered to the Palisades community for the revamp and upgrade of the Palisades Recreation Center. The three alternative designs can be seen here: Option 1 (ocean and meadow), Option 2 (Forest), Option 3 (Desert). The designs will be considered at the PP Park Advisory Board (PAB) meeting on July 18, 2024 (6:3o pm at the Recreation Center small gym).
Option #3 (image only. PDF above contains more info)
Option #1 (image only. PDF above contains more info)
Option #2 (image only. PDF above contains more info)
We encourage everyone to take a look at these and send your feedback by email to PPCC. We will share the feedback with the PAB, which will consider this matter at their July 18th meeting, when the input from the community could inform their decision. The Council Office has pledged Quimby funds to this project to upgrade the playground and bathrooms and bring them to compliance with current regulations. We encourage everyone to take a look and share your preference, if you have one!
This year, PPCC set out its priorities and worked toward achieving them with the help of a thoughtful and proactive board, as well as a slate of officers who have deep ties within the community and important credibility among our elected officials and agencies, which often assist us in achieving our goals.
We hope you will join us and follow our work. Your voice, your perspective and your engagement informs our direction and makes our advocacy stronger. Join us!

Area One Representatives showed a video to the board in order to make us aware of the perils of hillside construction in their narrow streets, as a large proposed project is winding its way through the permitting process. While our LUC has their eye on the project, we wish to share this video widely with the community sine we are in the VHFHSZ and narrow hillside streets characterize many of our Palisades areas.
