New features include an 8,000-square-foot community center, synthetic turf soccer fields, upgraded basketball and swimming facilities, a fresh playground, and expanded parking. Funded by local, state, and federal dollars—including $3.1 million from the city’s Cannabis Public Benefit Fund—the project boosts recreation, youth development, and neighborhood access. The center also houses a police substation and PAAL offices, fostering community-police ties while serving as a booking and administrative hub—making it more than just a park, but a dynamic neighborhood anchor.
