Community Green Space Coalition
Policy Vision Statement
Oceanside envisions a future where every neighborhood has equitable access to vibrant green spaces that are ecologically healthy, culturally meaningful, and community-driven. These spaces reflect the city’s commitment to environmental justice, public health, and intergenerational wellbeing.
While there are many actions we need to move forward on to achieve this vision, there are three “first actions” the coalition is working on now.
Advocate for and partner with the City of Oceanside to create a city-owned Community Agricultural Space.
Develop a “Community Green Space Activation Toolkit” that provides guidance on: how to start a green space, navigate city processes, access funding and materials, and sustain stewardship. A landing page on the City of Oceanside website.
Develop a package of city policies to accelerate and support resident-led Urban Agriculture projects.
