The Ballona Creek Greenway Plan is the result of a collaboration between the Ballona Creek Watershed Task Force and the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission. The Task Force is comprised of state and local agencies, environmental organizations, private businesses, and resident stakeholders. The group sought to build upon the 2004 Ballona Creek Watershed Management Plan (which has many exciting ideas for improving the health of the watershed and channel), and produced the Greenway Plan as a follow-up document.

In addition to the Ballona Creek Greenway Plan, the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission developed three different types of projects included in the Greenway Plan. These projects were chosen to include a variety of projects that may be implemented as part of the Greenway Plan and include, creekside parks, linear walking and bikeway improvements and naturalization of the creek channel. These three initial project plans are provided not only to inspire the implementation of the Greenway Plan, but to demonstrate the feasibility of these projects.
