West Sacramento City staff and design professionals from the Sacramento region are seeking the community's ideas about the future of Bryte Park. The Bryte and Broderick Community Action Network (BBCAN) is working in partnership with the City to engage residents in this hands-on planning process
Bryte Park Visioning Exhibition May 20, 2010 (see the photos) 30 people came out on a rainy evening to see and weigh in on the community’s ideas for park activities and conceptual layouts for the future of Bryte Park. The exhibition was co-sponsored with the Bryte and Broderick Community Action Network and the California Sierra Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Volunteer landscape architects from the region analyzed the inventory of park activities and prepared professional renditions of plans created at the Bryte Park Community Visioning Workshop in February. Along with the original workshop materials and refined illustrations, the exhibition presented a conceptual plan that illustrated the most preferred themes expressed at the workshop. Exhibition participants voted for their highest priority park activity and three favorite layout concepts for a redeveloped park. These priorities and preferences are the initial public input to the Bryte Park Master Plan.
Staff will present the Community Visioning results to the Parks and Community Services Commission on May 4th. Pages will be added to the Parks and Recreation web site to provide easy access to the Visioning materials and provide a convenient means for continuing public comment. Staff will request City Council approval to begin the formal master planning process in May.
See photos of the Bryte Park Visioning Workshop on February 27, 2010. The workshop was attended by more than 75 people and included a wide range of interests, ages, cultures and expertise. The workshop included information, discussion and feedback about the Bryte Park General Plan. The City's plan will include enhanced playing fields, public spaces and more! Sponsors of the workshop:
City of West Sacramento, California Sierra Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, and BBCAN.

You have given the community an opportunity for success, empowerment and inspiration. To its credit, the community came and ate and drank and drew
and did some superb work. Amazing what can happen when pizza and trace paper get mixed up..."
