�� City Parks Master Plan

Launched in September 2023 in partnership with RJM Design Group, this initiative is shaping the future of Burbank’s parks and recreation. By assessing current facilities and gathering community feedback through surveys and outreach, we’re creating a roadmap for long-term growth and development.

�� George Izay Park Master Plan

Since August 2022, this project has focused on enhancing one of Burbank’s most beloved parks. With input from over 1,450 community members, the plan is shaping improvements to facilities, buildings, and amenities. Most recently, new renderings were unveiled, offering an exciting glimpse into the park’s future.

�� Urban Forest Master Plan

Burbank’s trees are a vital part of our community, providing beauty, shade, and environmental benefits. In partnership with Davey Resource Group, this plan focuses on expanding and maintaining our urban forest in a sustainable and equitable way. Through data collection and public input, we’re ensuring a greener, healthier future for Burbank.

These projects represent just a few of the ways we’re working to enhance our parks, green spaces, and recreational opportunities. Stay connected and be part of the journey as we shape the next century of Burbank Parks!

Salt & Peppa

This dynamic duo are both high energy and clever. Salt is a little older and plays a little rougher, while also being super smart and curious. Peppa is younger, smaller and goofier, with a stronger attraction to people. They are both stunning in totally different ways- Salt is a husky mix and Peppa is a bull terrier mix. Their differences are part of what makes them such a powerhouse pair- they balance each other out. They’ll also make sure that family gets regular exercise and laughs at their antics every day.

Astrid

Astrid is a LARGE Armenian Gampr weighing in at a healthy 160 pounds. At 3 years old, Astrid is a puppy at heart and seems to be unaware of her larger than life size. More often than not she can be found lost in her own world, running around, jumping in the air trying to catch some wind under her paws. Astrid must have a vivid imagination as she loves hanging out on her own, keeping herself entertained. She enjoys simple things like a dip in the kiddie pool and a fluffy squeaky toy. Astrid is an amazing dog.

Yoga Stretch & Meditate

Emphasis will be on stretching, breathing, and meditation. Relaxing and calming the mind is not always an easy thing to do. Participants will stretch out the muscles to prepare the body and clear the mind for meditation to achieve goals. Peace and harmony of the total self, body, mind, and spirit, is our focus using guided meditation. Please bring a yoga mat, strap or non-stretch belt, blanket, eye mask optional
