This project consists of one corridor in two phases of development—Segment A is the Rail to Rail component and Segment B is the Rail to River component. Together they form one route, stretching from South Los Angeles to the Los Angeles River. The project provides improved water quality, increased local water supply and reduced green house emissions. The project also includes construction of paved pedestrian and bicyclists pathways adjacent to landscaped areas that capture, bio-filter and infiltrate stormwater. 

Nogales Park Stormwater Capture Project transformed a 0.5 acre vacant lot into a vibrant new community park in a critically park poor community. The project was completed in 2024 partially funded through the Safe Clean Water Program in FY 20-21. The park provides recreational amenities including a playground area, fitness station, a splash pad, and other amenities that expand recreational opportunities. Beneath the surface, the park showcases innovative stormwater management solutions. The stormwater system includes a pretreatment device and drywells designed to capture and infiltrate stormwater runoff. These features enable the park to capture and infiltrate more than 450,000 gallons of water during a single storm event. 

This project is improving water quality and supply through the capture and treatment of stormwater and urban runoff, all while improving the open space and recreational amenities of the Park.
