New Concept Plan and Name for SW Baker & Lombard
THPRD continues community engagement for the New Park at SW Baker & Lombard. So far, we’ve received input from hundreds of community members. Based on this input, we finalized a new park concept plan and are excited to introduce the park's new name La Raíz Park (rrah-ees), chosen through an intentional process to honor numerous members of our Spanish speaking communities. This is one of many new THPRD parks named through a process that aims to advance equity by reflecting our diverse community identities and experiences in park names.
To learn more or share your input, join us for our next virtual community meeting or take a short survey in English or Spanish by October 13.
Community members will be able to attend the virtual community meeting live on Zoom or view it later on the District’s YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/user/THPRDvideo. We plan to offer Spanish interpretive services at this meeting.
