Design Process Follow Up: Community Garden Placement

The Design team is refining the park master plan, they propose to move the garden to give more space for garden expansion as well as to keep the garden area separate from the park construction activities. If the garden remains in the same location, it has less room for expansion and will be impacted by park construction.
