New City Park

The City of Lemoore is seeking to acquire and develop approximately 2.76 acres at Cinnamon Drive and Hill Street in Lemoore, California, to create a new public neighborhood park named Cinnamon Park. The project involves the removal of an existing residence and associated improvements to make way for a variety of recreational and community amenities. Planned features include a multi-generational splash pad, musical and sensory playground, pump track, two to four pickleball courts, a walking and fitness loop with outdoor stations, and a pollinator and wellness garden. Additional infrastructure will include a prefabricated public restroom, a 0.23-acre parking area, shade structures, benches, picnic tables, and at least 40 trees with drought-tolerant landscaping and water-efficient irrigation. The development will also incorporate necessary utility connections, lighting, fencing, accessible circulation, and stormwater improvements. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237990 and is consistent with the City of Lemoore Zoning Code, General Plan, and 2008 EIR. A Notice of Exemption has been filed under CEQA sections 15061(b)(3) and 15183(e), as the site is located in a developed urban area and is not expected to have significant environmental impacts. Susan Long, the Community Development Director, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
