DiGiorgio Park

On November 9, 2013, the Local Government Commission (LGC) partnered with the South Kern Building Healthy Communities site, Kern County Parks and Recreation and the City of Arvin to hold an interactive community workshop at DiGiorgio Park and Caliente Creek Apartments Community Room, located in the City of Arvin, Kern County. The goal of the workshop was to develop a community vision for how the park could be improved, and to identify next steps and priorities that the County and community can focus on for the future. LGC facilitated a half-day discussion and visioning in English and Spanish, and the landscape architecture firm Sierra Designs Inc. provided design expertise. Funding from The California Endowment made the event possible. This report documents the event activities and shares the conceptual vision developed at the workshop.
