Watts Serenity Park
What We’re Doing
Partnered closely with a historically underfunded neighborhood to create a new park that represents the community’s character, culture, needs, and wants.
Our Goal
Ensure all residents of Los Angeles have equitable access to safe, climate-smart parks and green spaces within a 10-minute walk of home.
