= 0.00123 (1.23 acres of park land per 1,000 residents)56 2.88 x 50 units = 144 persons / 1000 persons = 14.4 of 1.2 acres which is = to .177 of an acre. The average cost of land in LAC is 60,000 per acre. 60,000 x .177 = $10.620 According to this formula you could buy 78 times the amount of acreage needed to fulfill the needs of 144 people. If the formula is correct, the County could be buying park land where it is needed. Which begs the question, are the funds not adequately allocated or is there enough underdeveloped land in the overdeveloped areas? Maybe we could rethink the way the funds are distributed.

The park is located on Whittier Blvd in East LA (ELA). The park has children’s apparatus, a baseball diamond, a pool and a senior citizen center. In a study by The Los Angeles Parks Foundation, a survey was taken to get feedback on what a community considers the desirable features of a park.62 Facilities with exercise equipment, swings, swimming pools and tennis courts did not necessarily suit the needs of the community.63 Ruben Salazar Park is small like a pocket park.
