Document Description
The City of Baldwin Park will develop a new 0.80-acre nature-based at a blighted vacant lot adjacent to Kaiser Permanente Medical Center. The new park, referred to as Roadside Park, is expected to include passive and active recreation features, including a nature-based playground, shade structure, outdoor fitness equipment, picnic areas, native plants and pollinator garden, restroom facility, irrigation system, walking path with solar lighting, recycled benches and tables, and open green space. The park will also include approximately 17 new shade trees, native plants and shrubs, permeable walkways, stormwater capture bioswales, and an underground infiltration system to recharge this region's groundwater basin.
According to the City of Baldwin Park General Plan Land Use Map, the project site is not currently designated as a specific land use or zone. The area is recognized as Roadside Park in the City's General Plan, with limited use due to its vacancy. The area is surrounded by commercial and residential land.
On September 3, 2025, the Baldwin Park City Council approved City Council resolution 2025-032, approving the project and adopting the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for the project.
