Project Description

HARD is partnering with Trust for Public Land (TPL) to design a new 1.43-acre neighborhood park in Ashland with extensive community input. The project has been awarded $7,082,000 through the California Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (Proposition 68, Round 4).

This park is one of three adjoining acquisitions in the Ashland area. The effort also includes adjacent property fronting East 14th Street and a new community center developed in collaboration with Resources for Community Development (RCD) Housing.

Early community input helped shape a park design that includes green space, terraced seating, gathering areas, quiet study areas, a looped walking path, play areas for children, spaces for teens, a multiuse court, fitness area, and improved lighting.

Construction is progressing. The existing building structures were removed in April 2023, and soil remediation began in August 2026. Park construction is expected to begin in Fall 2026, with completion anticipated in Spring 2027.
