Tomorrow, July 6th, you are invited to join in for It’s My Park Day and a Community Visioning in the Sara Roosevelt Park at Stanton Street from 3-6pm!
The Stanton Building in Roosevelt Park could be an awesome community space. Help Parks envision its future – check out our website for more information.
Bathrooms for the public? And for sports events in the park? Already funded! How do we help get them built?
We’ll be cleaning up and mulching and weeding the tree pits and green areas!
Located on Stanton between Forsyth and Chrystie, the building is a blank slate – drop by for a few minutes and share your ideas!
The Stanton Building Task Force will be joined by:
– Gardening via It’s My Park Day by M’finda Kalunga, Sara Roosevelt Coalition, LUNGS Youth Program & Partnerships for Parks!
– Bike Repair by The New York Mechanical Gardens Bike Co-op
– Renewable Energy with Solarize LES
– Composting & Green Jobs with Green Map System
– Beekeeping with Alpha Bee City Honey
– LES History with the New Museum
– Awesome exhibits by 596 Acres, Hester Street and other community groups
– Zumba with University Settlement
– Sign language thanks to Jina Porter and The Collective for Community, Culture and Environment
All welcome! stop by and share your insights!
You can RSVP to apple@greenmap.org or via Facebook or just drop by.
Special thanks to NYCommons and Partnerships for Parks!
We are hosting two more events on July 13th and 27th at 6:30PM The first one will be held to help this neighborhood learn “tools to impact decisions around the future of their park…” specifically with the Stanton Street Building in mind. The third workshop will be for all Park’s groups to learn “accessible information about who controls these public assets, how decisions about these assets are made, and how members of the public can influence these choices in their park buildings and public green spaces” for fuller community use.
Those two workshops will be led in partnership with NYCommons (a coalition of three organizations: Common Cause, 596 Acres and Urban Justice Center)
