From Lot to Spot

From Lot to Spot is excited to be working with the Trust for Public Land and the City of Hawthorne to revitalize Bicentennial Park in the City of Hawthorne!
This weekend we walked door to door to invite residents to attend a series of community workshops where we will hear from them as to what they want in their community.

We have embarked on this community planning journey and are excited to be working hand in hand with community members to create a space that serves their needs.
Bicentennial was originally built in the 70’s to provide recreational opportunities in the form of tennis courts. However as the City grew and the demographics of the community changed, the park was underutilized. Over time, as most underutilized spaces in densely urban neighborhoods do, it became a drug haven and a place for vandalism. The City locked the gates a year ago and the park sat empty.

We are excited, and so is the community based on positive feedback we received this weekend, to begin the process to change the identity of this park.
We look forward to listen, to document ideas, and to start the process to collaboratively create a public space for all to enjoy.

Join us the Saturday, October 31st, 10am -12pm at the All Saints Anglican Church
3801 W. 132nd Street, Hawthorne, CA, 90250 for the first in a series of community design workshops.
