Sennett Creek Planning and Feasibility Study
We’re making communities safer while increasing recreation opportunities and habitat
Location: Forest Lawn Drive, Los Angeles
Timeline: May 2022 – Present
Funded By: Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy
Project Partners: Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority, Upper Los Angeles River and Tributaries Working Group
Fed by runoff water in Griffith Park, Sennett Creek has become severely neglected, polluted, and overgrown with invasive plants. The creek runs underneath Forest Lawn Drive and connects to the LA River. This project will conduct the necessary investigations, community outreach, technical and site studies, and coordination with public agencies to prepare a community-driven plan for development of a new public park and green space at the Sennett Creek site, along the LA River.
Key Project Benefits:
Accessible natural habitat along the LA River
Connections to nearby LA River Parks
Walking and cycling paths
Natural places for children to play
Shade trees and carbon sequestration
Improvement of water quality in the LA River
through biofiltration and re-use of stormwater
