The Civic Center Parks Project
Community input, design, and construction lasted from April 2010 to October 2013. Throughout the course of the parks' development, 'Civic Center Parks' and 'Palisades Garden Walk + Town Square' were used interchangeably as working titles for the project.
The project's progress, key milestones, and opportunities for community participation was chronicled via a regularly-updated blog
- The Site - Orientation to the site and its surroundings
- Project Library - All presentations, staff reports, and more
A diverse group of community members were highly engaged throughout the course of the project
