The Anaheim Outdoors Connectivity Plan was approved by the City Council in April 2013. This Citywide Master Plan was fully funded by the Proposition 84 Urban Greening Grant along with a grant from the Southern California Association of Governments. These grant funds were used to identify a unique network of parks and trails that the City could connect in order to increase green space through a planned system of green corridors that will connect residents, visitors, and employees to both existing and planned high-density urban areas. The plan also allows for the development of projects that emphasize:

• Bioswales
• Demonstration gardens
• Multimodal and non-motorized trails and pathways
• Open spaces
• Pocket parks
• River walk
• Shade trees
• Storm water filtration and collection systems
• Wildlife corridors

Community Goals
Community goals were established through a series of public and stakeholder meetings, along with input collected through the City’s website. From this process, 8 goals emerged to guide the project’s development. The Anaheim Outdoors Connectivity Plan will:

• Build Community
• Enhance Property’s Financial Value
• Foster Sustainable Landscapes
• Improve Connectivity
• Increase Recreational Opportunities
• Promote Healthy Lifestyles
• Promote Safety
• Provide for the Implementation and Maintenance of the Plan
