3.1 EXISTING CITY PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITIES

The City of Montebello prides itself on providing ample high-quality parks and recreation facilities to its citizens. The parks and recreation facility inventory shows that a broad range of passive and active opportunities exist throughout the City. The City of Montebello currently has approximately 125 acres of parkland. This includes 40 acres of mini and neighborhood parks, 39 acres of community parks and centers, and 46 acres of special use and regional park facilities. Please see Figure 3-1 for a map of the existing parks and Table 3-1 for a listing of the park categories and acres.

The current park amenities are analyzed against a ratio of park/recreation amenity per population, typically shown per 1,000 population. Local agencies can adopt their own standards, but often agencies tend to look toward national or regional standards. The park acreage standard was developed as part of the Montebello General Plan in the Parks and Recreation Element. Recreation facility metrics were developed based on national and regional averages but were tailored to the City of Montebello based on input and local demographics.
