"The answer appeared as an extension of Richard Gamble Memorial Park. This space is small, heavily used, and bisected by a train. Located at the heart of a small and bustling neighborhood, it was clear it could benefit from a little added breathing room. The Pop-up Town Square aims to provide just that. Modernizing Richard Gamble Memorial Park is critical, and the addition of a town square would provide flexible space for the community, and an added impetus to invest in the park."
"As the name implies, Pop-up Town Squares are designed as pilot projects. This iterative approach helps everyone understand the impact of the potential of the space, as well as foster community buy-in and local stewardship. By creating opportunities to test, modify, and improve the amenities that are provided, we can work to ensure that this space is a reflection of the neighborhood's needs and desires."
The Pop-up Town Square is the third and final planned iteration, originally meant to coincide with the Night Market and now extended through the weekend due to success. The project creates an extension of Richard Gamble Memorial Park to provide added breathing room for a small, heavily used space bisected by a train. Modernizing the park and adding a town square would provide flexible space for community activities and encourage investment in the park. The pop-up is a pilot that uses iterative events to test, modify, and improve amenities while building community buy-in and local stewardship. Future permanent work depends on neighborhood embrace, engagement, and permitting.
