Crestwood Elementary School Playground and Campus Exterior Upgrades Project

The Project will replace approximately 165,000 square feet of existing paving in the main playground, kindergarten playground, and lunch shelter area that has exceeded its useful life with new paving. The scope of work also includes solar reflective coating of the playgrounds; replacement of playground equipment; installation of an outdoor learning environment; greening and landscaping throughout the Campus; installation of privacy fencing; and exterior painting of buildings and structures where needed. The Project will also provide infrastructure upgrades including sanitary sewer and storm drainage utilities upgrades and accessibility upgrades (Figure 1). The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education approved the Project's budget of $17,273,573 on March 11, 2025. The Project will be implemented per all applicable State, federal, and local regulations, as well as all District Standards and Specifications; such as those provided in the updated Standard Conditions of Approval for District Construction, Upgrade, and Improvements Projects (SCs) as adopted by the Board of Education in December 2023. LAUSD’s SCs, design guidelines, and best management practices are designed to be incorporated into the Project design in order to avoid or limit potential adverse impacts associated with the District’s projects. The beneficiaries of the Project include Crestwood ES students, faculty, staff, families, school supporters, and the community at large who may request access to the playground pursuant to the Civic Center Act (CA Ed. Code Sections 38130 -38139).
