The Park Development team oversees construction and projects to ensure that projects are safe, well-constructed and successful. All projects built on park property are inspected by Park Planning and Development staff and consultants to ensure they comply with project design and specifications.

Park Design
The Park Development team ensures that new park developments and park renovation projects fulfill the needs of the community, meet District standards and comply with land use regulations. Staff coordinates all park development at the site level. This team creates design and construction documents, coordinates consultants, manages contracts and project budgets, and communicates with the CRPD board and the community.
Turnkey vs. Agency Built Parks
As a condition of new residential subdivision construction, California state law requires that either land or fees be dedicated for park or recreational use. With a turnkey project a developer constructs and dedicates a park as part of its larger development project. Alternatively, a developer may choose to dedicate a parcel of land to an agency, allowing the agency to construct the park. Typically, district neighborhood parks are constructed as turnkey projects while community parks are built by CRPD.
