South Central Park Renovations – The South Central Park construction project has been part of the downtown renovation conversation for more than 10 years. Through this time, its uses and designs have transformed, making the long process good for the end result. The value of downtown public green space has has risen greatly as more businesses and people desire community gathering space. By renovating the South Central Park, the downtown identity is strengthened as a vibrant destination, which stimulates private investment. Improving and expanding this important resource provides for seamless connectivity within the downtown core. The realignment of Avenue A and closing of Magnolia for a short distance will allow pedestrians to easily get where they want to go….and where they never knew they wanted to be! This space has always been a community gathering place, and it is appropriate to continue this tradition while reimagining it for the future.
