"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."
"This is the third and final planned iteration of the Pop-up Town Square. It was originally envisioned as an amenity that would coincide with the Night Market. With the success and support of its first two iterations, this third pop-up has been extended through the weekend. Be sure to email your city representatives your thoughts, and fill out this survey to provide feedback!"
Pop-up Town Square is a pilot program located at Richard Gamble Memorial Park that expands park space to provide breathing room in a small, busy neighborhood. The park is small, heavily used, and bisected by a train, limiting flexible gathering areas. The pop-up adds temporary amenities and flexible open space for community use and encourages modernization and further investment in the park. Iterative trials allow neighbors to test, modify, and improve amenities while building community buy-in and local stewardship. Continued iterations and a permanent project depend on neighborhood embrace and sufficient community support. Residents are asked to provide feedback and contact city representatives.
