Over the course of the project, they have held more than 25 meetings and participated in dozens of events to discuss how they would like to use the site, provide guidance on local issues and maintenance concerns, and develop design concepts with Davies Toews Architecture, The PARC Foundation, and NYCHA’s Asset & Capital Management Division. The new space will have benches to relax and catch up with neighbors, a raised platform for performances, tables, paths and new lighting. The best difference: no fence!

The program’s efforts are based on participatory planning and design, and strive to enhance vibrant, safer and more resilient open spaces in NYCHA communities.
