Bernal Heights Rec Center Proposed
Bernal Heights Pop-up Town Square Opening Party
Event Dates: Daily starting Sept 6th, through next February (and perhaps longer)
Venue: Bernal Heights Rec Center Plaza
This Saturday, we’ll be creating a Pop-up Town Square on the blacktop at the Bernal Heights Rec Center. The goal is to transform the asphalt into a lush, welcoming space for the community and to initiate a broader conversation about revitalizing the Rec Center. In light of the ongoing playground closure, the blacktop will feature a new play amenity: a nature exploration area made entirely of fallen logs and other natural materials. This is an investment in the Rec Center that utilizes temporary materials to quickly pilot ideas for how this space can be used, with the hope that through this process, we can explore how this place can best serve the neighborhood. We invite neighbors to experience the space, helping to test and refine what’s there and how it’s arranged. Neighborhood feedback will help ensure that the space reflects the desires of the neighborhood.
