Transforming parks and schoolyards into vibrant, inclusive community assets begins with authentic engagement. This Peer Conversation will explore how participatory design can be a powerful tool for building trust, fostering community ownership, and ensuring that revitalized public spaces reflect the needs and values of the communities they serve. Participants will engage in a hands-on park design activity and explore design trade-offs, priorities, and creative solutions that emerge through authentic engagement.
