We’re excited to invite your input as we continue designing our community space.

Community engagement began in 2020–2021, and your feedback has already helped shape the physical site and our newest design concepts. Now, we’re gathering ideas to guide the next phase—and we want to hear from you!

📣 Share your thoughts in our online survey

We’re entering the next phase—where ideas become textures, tones, and tactile moments. As we shape the design, we’re thinking not just about beauty, but about durability, maintenance, and how volunteers will care for this space over time. Your input now helps us choose materials that feel good, last long, and honor the rhythms of community stewardship.

🗓 Save the date: Our next Community Design Meeting is Tuesday, Sept 30 (evening)
📍 Location TBD

This project is made possible through OSIF funding and in partnership with:
✨ @neighborspace (land trust partner)
✨ @borderless_studio (community engagement consultants)
✨ @25thwardoffice (thank you for your support!)

A place reflective of community. The beauty of a community-managed space is that it invites direct impact—iterative, responsive, and handcrafted with love. It’s not just built for us, it’s built by us.💚
