Fetch & Serve

Green space, park access, and trees

Pilot or new project, program, or initiative (testing or implementing a new idea)

Living in South LA, specifically in the vibrant neighborhoods of the Crenshaw District, Baldwin Hills, and View Park, we keenly experience the lack of green spaces and recreational havens. Across our community, vacant lots and overlooked areas stand as untapped potential, ready to be revitalized into dynamic centers of activity through community involvement and creative play. Presently, our existing green spaces fall short of meeting community needs and utilizing available resources effectively. The nearest courts and dog park are currently located in Culver City, underscoring the pressing need for local amenities to serve our community's active lifestyle.

Fetch and Serve Dog Park and Pickleball Court represents a transformative initiative poised to significantly enhance the urban communities and green spaces of South LA, particularly in areas like the Crenshaw District, Baldwin Hills, and View Park. Here’s how:
1. Community Gathering Spaces - By repurposing vacant lots and underutilized areas, Fetch and Serve will create vibrant community hubs where residents can come together.
2. Promotion of Active Lifestyles -The dog park and pickleball court combination caters to diverse interests and age groups and encourages physical activity and healthy living among residents of all ages, from children to retirees, providing a safe and enjoyable environment for exercise.
3. Improvement of Green Spaces - Transforming neglected spaces into well-maintained dog parks and courts will beautify the neighborhood and promote environmental stewardship. 4. Community Engagement and Empowerment - The project's development through community involvement ensures that residents have a voice in shaping their surroundings. This collaborative approach strengthens community bonds and empowers residents to take ownership of their neighborhood’s development.
In summary, Fetch and Serve Dog Park and Pickleball Court will serve as more than just recreational facilities; they will be catalysts for community revitalization, promoting health, well-being, and a stronger sense of community in South LA.

Fetch & Serve transforms unincorporated areas into dynamic dog walk and community pickleball centers, enhancing community engagement and well-being. Underserved residents gain vibrant social spaces that foster mental well-being and a strong sense of belonging. Regular exercise through pet walking and pickleball boosts cardiovascular health, reduces obesity rates, and encourages an active lifestyle. Revitalizing these underutilized areas invigorates local economies by attracting visitors and increasing spending at nearby businesses. Enhanced amenities elevate property values and draw new residents. Developing green spaces drives environmental sustainability, improving air quality, providing shade, and creating habitats for local wildlife. These green spaces also help cool urban areas and mitigate the heat island effect, enhancing overall environmental quality in the region.

Fetch & Serve will ensure to meet objectives and continually improve the facilities for the benefit of the community, with a combination of quantitative and qualitative metrics across several key areas: 1.
