WE BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER
India Basin project partners have hosted or supported a number of events and programs aligned with the goals of the Equitable Development Plan that build cohesion and social capital within the community .
Our signature accomplishment in the past year was transforming the park ’ s tech hub into the Community Innovation Lab ( CIL ), a goal highlighted in the Equitable Development Plan . The CIL expands on tech offerings such as free Wi-Fi and laptop lending to also include sports and recreation services , while also creating a hub for programming .
We celebrated the CIL ’ s opening at the park ’ s Fall Festival , which featured musical performances from local artists , kayaking , youth art activities and more . The event served as a preview for programming currently at the park in partnership with the community-based organization , Hip Hop for Change .
Additional accomplishments included collecting stories of the park and neighborhood from community members for historical purposes ; gathering community feedback on art proposals for the project ; hosting holiday events , movie nights and concerts at the park ; and much more .
