The City of Lompoc is applying for funding to design and construct a new community and skate park at College Park, and is seeking the public’s input on the project.

The city is applying for grant funding for the College Park project through state Proposition 68, the Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018. In order to ensure the project best meet the needs of those using the park, the City of Lompoc held a series of five community meetings, four via Zoom and one safely on site, to gather valuable input from the public. In addition, several community surveys were made available. Additional information will be forthcoming about ways to provide input on the College Park design and grant application process.

In addition to College Park, the City of Lompoc is seeking Prop. 68 funding for park redesign projects at Pioneer and Johns-Manville parks. Community meetings were held last year for these project proposals.

Construction on a new playground and fitness area at Beattie Park funded by Prop. 68 is expected to be complete early in 2021.
