Imagine… An urban oasis that is safe, enlightening and engaging. A dynamic open space for festivals, performances, and celebrations big and small. A hub for activities for children, adults, and families all year round. A creative incubator and a place to network, exchange ideas and make connections. A place that promotes health and wellbeing, and A home and a community to many from all walks of life.
The demolition that started on January 18th caught many by surprise. There was no warning, no public notice of any sort. It came out of nowhere. Rightfully so, there was community outrage.
