Urban Parks are for People – The Dundonald Park Project
There is something exciting happening on the corner of Bay and Somerset!
DundonaldPark has been chosen as one of eight parks across the province (and the only one in Ottawa) by 8-80 Cities – Active Places Health People to be part of their planning and design program for this year. “Public spaces like parks and streets should be the very best spots in our communities, overflowing with life and vibrancy” says Gil Penalosa, an internationally sought out speaker and advisor on making urban spaces healthier, and Executive Director of 8-80 Cities. “But many of the public spaces in our cities are poorly designed and under-used. We need to involve the local community in re-creating these spaces. People always have the most fantastic ideas about how a space can be used and improved.”
The goal of this project is to educate and empower communities across the province with the tools to transform parks and public spaces into vibrant and active destinations that promote social interaction, mental health and well being for all. Centretown Community Health Centre is excited to be involved in this innovative project at Dundonald Park.
One exciting part of this project is the opportunity for community members to hear Gil Penalosa, an internationally sought-out speaker and advisor, deliver one of his trademark lively presentations on making urban spaces healthier.
