The view from La Vista looks pretty great, particularly along Corridor 84, but there’s always room for improvement!
We’re already planning the next phases, including the public green spaces in the area and we need your help. For a two-week span of time in late September and early October, La Vista residents will be asked to share their ideas for the future!
The City will be hosting several opportunities for residents to provide feedback on the types of amenities and activities they would like to see in La Vista’s parks, including two major public engagement events. There will be discussion about newer areas such as the green space planned inside City Centre and Civic Center Park, as well as existing sites including Central Park and the Kelly McMahon Fields.
Beginning on September 17, storytimes, Fit Fridays, Yoga and more will be offered to encourage residents to visit Civic Center Park and get excited about the opportunity to help plan the future of our parks!
The first event will take place on Friday, September 25, 4-7 p.m., in City Centre at The Heights Draft Room, 7861 Main St. The food truck, Game Time Philly, will be there as well. The second event will take place the next day, Saturday, September 26, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. in Civic Center Park near Santa’s Workshop.
City staff and designers will also be on hand at both events to gather feedback and discuss future park plans and possibilities, including:
- Site plans and renderings of the proposed connections between City Centre and Civic Center Park
- The smaller green spaces that are located in City Centre.
- What is currently envisioned for Civic Center Park
- Gather input and ideas for additional programming and amenities in this park as well as areas adjacent to the park
In addition to these in-person events, an online survey will be available. See below for an outline of all of the planned programs and virtual activities. We hope to see you in the park!
