Community Engagement Session #1 Recap

Transforming Manresa Island Together.

Last night, we took an exciting step forward for the future of Manresa Island. It was incredible to see so many community members come together to share their ideas and enthusiasm for transforming this historic site into a vibrant public park. Your voices are shaping the vision for Manresa Island, and we are grateful for your engagement and support.

If you weren’t able to attend our first community engagement meeting this past Wednesday, don’t worry—this is just the beginning. We have two more sessions coming up, and we’d love for you to be part of the conversation. Mark your calendars for May 8 and July 15, where we’ll continue gathering feedback and refining the masterplan with your insights.

Finally, we know that building a park of this scale takes a village, and we’re looking for volunteers who want to be a hands-on part of this transformation. If you’re interested in getting involved, sign up to volunteer below, and help bring this vision to life.
