Come hear about the Greater Johnsons Park Initiative--a neighborhood revitalization model garnering national attention. The initiative, a coalition effort led by the Center for Resilient Cities, is giving vitality, sustainability and economic benefits to the central city Fond du Lac and North Avenue neighborhood. Physical transformations demonstrate the revitalization of a county park, a schoolyard, a community space, and green streetscapes. Neighborhood activities enhance community health, pride, and empowerment. The Greater Johnsons Park Initiative takes a cohesive approach to developing and programming public lands, creating a more resilient community and producing a broad base of environmental, social, and economic benefits.
