Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa recently announced the city’s Fifty Parks Initiative. The city is acquiring land for fifty new parks, predominantly in park-poor, population-dense neighborhoods. The new city parks will feature a number of sustainability features, including less turf, more mulch, and more permeable pavers in place of concrete.
