NEW ORLEANS – City Park Conservancy and landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates will host a third public meeting on the park’s master plan on Thursday, March 21 at Dillard University.
This meeting will focus on existing conditions and necessary interventions to improve the park’s lagoons, lakes and water systems.
“This meeting will showcase the master plan’s efforts to maintain and improve the functionality and environmental resiliency of these fundamental park structures,” said City Park Conservancy President and CEO Cara Lambright. “The public’s input and engagement throughout this process is imperative as we continue to develop and refine our master plan to ensure the park’s aesthetic beauty and natural ecosystems will thrive, creating a dynamic and enduring sense of place for future generations to enjoy.”
Instead of a formal presentation, the project team will facilitate seven stations that cover different topics and enable multiple opportunities for discussion and feedback. Information will be shared through a slideshow at each station, along with models, preliminary illustrations, and diagrams.
This is the third in a series of six public meetings held as part of the park’s ongoing master planning process to gather public input and encourage community members to learn what the master plan means for the future of City Park.
The plan is made possible through a lead gift from the Greg Keller Foundation.
