The City of West Hollywood has launched a community-driven process to reimagine Plummer Park and every voice matters. Through the Plummer Park Comprehensive Improvement Plan, West Hollywood residents and community members have opportunities to share input and ideas to guide the park’s future. The first phase of the project was launched with a Community Brainstorm Workshop in mid-July to gather ideas, feedback, and insights from a diverse group of West Hollywood community members.

Next up, the City will host a series of four Topical Chats and Community Conversations over two days on Saturday, August 2, 2025, and Saturday, August 9, 2025. These collaborative sessions at Plummer Park’s Fiesta Hall and Vista Lawn, located at 7377 Santa Monica Boulevard, will focus on identifying the priorities and needs of park users through focused conversations about specific topics.

• Sports and Recreation Conversation – Saturday, August 2 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Fiesta Hall. Topics will include active park uses such as basketball, tennis, pickleball, and children’s play areas, as well as passive park uses such as walking, reading, game tables, and nature observation.

• Community Education and Programs Conversation – Saturday, August 2 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Fiesta Hall. Topics will include activities such as early education, teen and adult programming, the Helen Albert Certified Farmers’ Market, community gardens, the upcoming dog park, and recurring events and activities such as Summer Sounds and Movies in the Park.

• Culture and History Conversation with Walking Tour – Saturday, August 9 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Fiesta Hall. Topics will include the park’s history, designated cultural resources, memorials, public art, and arts programming and cultural events such as the Mishka Festival.

• Nature and Open Space Conversation with Walking Tour – Saturday, August 9 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Vista Lawn. Topics will include park wildlife, tree canopies, shading opportunities, biodiversity, water conservation, native landscaping, and climate resilience.
