Temple City officials have secured $335,000 in Measure A funding to advance the Sultana Park project, marking a key step toward expanding local green space and recreation access.
The grant comes from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District as part of a countywide allocation exceeding $78 million. Voters approved Measure A to support park development, maintenance and planning across underserved communities.
City leaders said the funding will support early design and planning for the proposed park, which aims to serve nearby neighborhoods with new recreational opportunities.
Sultana Park Project Planning Begins
The Sultana Park project will move into its initial phase with an emphasis on community input and professional design. City staff plan to work with residents, landscape architects and municipal leadership to shape the park’s layout and amenities.
Officials said outreach efforts will gather feedback on features such as open space, play areas and accessibility. The planning process will guide decisions on long-term use and neighborhood integration.
According to the county, Measure A prioritizes communities with limited park access. The program focuses on improving public health, increasing outdoor activity and strengthening neighborhood connections.

Countywide Investment Targets Park Access
County officials described the $78 million investment as part of a broader strategy to expand green space while supporting local economies. Funded projects are expected to create jobs tied to park construction and ongoing maintenance.
The initiative also aims to improve environmental conditions through expanded tree canopy and cleaner air. Public safety benefits may follow as activated park spaces increase community presence and use.
Temple City’s allocation reflects those priorities, with the Sultana Park project positioned to address gaps in local recreational infrastructure.
Next Steps and Timeline Unclear
A construction timeline for Sultana Park has not been announced. Officials said the scope and schedule will depend on outcomes from the design phase and community engagement.
Once completed, the park is expected to provide new outdoor space for residents and contribute to broader quality-of-life improvements in Temple City.
City officials said the project remains in its early stages, but the grant marks meaningful progress from concept to implementation.
Photos of the proposed project and planning materials were shared by the City of Temple City via its Facebook page.
The Sultana Park effort reflects a continued push to expand access to parks and open space in the San Gabriel Valley, where demand for recreational areas remains high.
