The City of West Hollywood invites the community to attend an upcoming West Hollywood City Council Ad-Hoc Subcommittee Meeting about improvements at William S. Hart Park & Off-Leash Dog Park (Hart Park). The discussion will include an update about progress on the Hart Park Improvements Project and options for the surfacing of the Off-Leash Dog Area, including wood chips, decomposed granite, and alternatives to synthetic turf.

The West Hollywood City Council Hart Park Ad-Hoc Subcommittee Meeting will take place on Monday, June 30, 2025 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the West Hollywood City Hall 1st Floor Community Meeting Room, located at 8300 Santa Monica Boulevard.

In February 2025, the City’s Public Facilities, Recreation, and Infrastructure Commission; Older Adults Advisory Board; and Disabilities Advisory Board each received updates on the progress of the Hart Park Improvements Project. The consultant team has incorporated the City Council’s direction along with input and feedback from selected City Board and Commissions into a final schematic design. Key planned improvements at Hart Park in the current phase include:

• Upgrades to all pedestrian path-of-travel routes and site accessibility barrier-removal improvements in locations as identified in a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) Report;
• Redesign of the parking area to be fully accessible and multi-functional; and
• Reconfiguration of the off-leash dog area into one small and one large play area.
