Survey – City of Arcata Community

The City of Arcata is preparing to implement the Redwood Park Improvement Project in summer 2023. To assist with that, the City is seeking community input to refine the playground theme and equipment elements planned for the park. Community members are encouraged to take a few minutes to complete an online survey at:

Several years ago the City initiated a Redwood Park Master Plan process with involvement from
community members and families. Conceptual improvement designs were completed in 2020, and the
City has since secured construction funding from multiple sources.

Redwood Park is the City of Arcata’s premier community park in the redwood forest, providing active
and passive recreation opportunities for people of all ages. The Redwood Park Improvement Project
seeks to renovate park facilities to ensure families can continue to make memories in this unique
forested park setting. Renovations are planned to include replacement of playground equipment,
accessible parking and trail improvements, a bicycle pump track, basketball court resurfacing, outdoor
amphitheater relocation and conservation of redwoods in the playground area.

Some potential playground themes are castle adventures, redwood ecology, nature, playable art, ships,
and fitness.

Community members who prefer to complete a paper survey can pick one up at the Environmental
Services counter anytime Monday – Friday, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. For more information contact the
Environmental Services Department by email at [email protected] or call (707) 822-8184.
