Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) – Round 5 – Proposition 4

The Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) provides competitive grants to public agencies and non‑profits for acquiring land, pre‑construction design, permits and construction of new or expanded parks in underserved, climate‑vulnerable California communities. Applications are accepted statewide, with no matching funds required, and the grant can cover up to 100 % of project costs. The program targets projects that address parkland scarcity, low median household income, or climate‑risk proximity, and encourages community‑based planning with health partners. Funding ranges from $200,000 to $8.5 million per award, with a total pool of $188.5 million. The award period runs through June 2031, with the award announcement expected in summer 2027. • Eligible applicants: cities, counties, districts, joint powers authorities, and 501(c)(3) non‑profits. • Eligible costs: land acquisition, design, permits, construction (pre‑construction ≤ 25 % of grant). • No match required; applicants must commit any additional funds at application time. • Application deadline: 17 December 2026 (23:59 UTC). • Total funding available: $188.5 million; number of awards TBD. • Funding method: advances and reimbursements, with 20 % retention for final payment. • Contact: Nicky Lambert, Supervisor, (916) 661‑1527, [email protected].
