South Side Parks Engagement at Dunbar Community Center

The Department of Parks, Recreation & Youth Programs will be hosting three public input sessions to seek ideas for future South Side parks improvements. With close to 1 million dollars of upcoming project opportunities, the department is seeking community input to assist with the planning process. Each session will include informational boards designed for the public to review and interact with. Staff from the Parks’ Planning & Development team will be onsite to answer questions.

The department will be seeking ideas and suggestions for projects with current allocated funding including:

Sankofa Park Play Equipment: $100,000 grant
Upper Onondaga Park Playground: $150,000 grant | Take the Survey HERE
Spirit of Jubilee Park Playground: $150,000 Capital Funding | Take the Survey HERE.
Kirk Park Veterans Memorial: $250,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

Additionally, the department will also seek ideas and suggestions on other South Side parks including Baker Playlot, Danforth Park, Dunbar Park, Elmwood Park, Furman Park, Libba Cotten Park, McKinley Park, Meachem Park, Wadsworth Park, and Sankofa Park.
