Latest Updates - September 2024

The Project team has finalized the designs for the Silverado Park Playground Project and has incorporated community feedback into the final design plans. The City has recently advertised the work for public bid and is currently evaluating General Contractor bids for responsiveness. After this process is completed, the City will make a recommendation to award a contract to the lowest, responsive, and responsible bidder. Construction is anticipated to start in early 2025. We want to express our gratitude to everyone who has provided feedback.

• May 2024 Update

  The Silverado Park Playground Project has completed the Design and Permitting process and is moving forward with a competitive BID procurement process to select and hire a contractor to manage construction. More details of the BID can be found on Long Beach Buys. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2025.

  Renderings of the project can be seen in the Project Information section below.

Project Information

The Silverado Park Signature Playground Project will focus on replacing the existing playground facilities and site furnishings. Designs will include new and exciting play elements in two distinct play areas: 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds. The playground colors and theme will also complement the existing mural at Silverado Park.

The project aims to:

• Provide playground improvements to serve a high-need community
• Increase the useful life of the facility
• Provide an inviting environment for the community
• Address ADA accessibility

Project Funding

Former U.S. House Representative Lowenthal generously secured $1.5 million in federally earmarked funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Fund. In addition, $700,000 Measure A Funds have also been allocated to the project. Together, these two funding sources will go towards a full reconstruction of Silverado Playground, including new play features, benches, picnic tables, and ADA site improvements.
