Did you see the latest Lock 3 Park redevelopment hard hat update? In this update, you'll notice the park's connectivity come to fruition through the winding serpentine walkways that connect the Maynard Performance Pavilion to the Frances and Richard Buchholzer Balcony. 16 trees have been planted throughout the balcony, where wood decking is being installed to create a fresh, natural atmosphere for the park. The project is on schedule and on budget to open this fall. https://lnkd.in/gy_z4B4T

Welcome, Ashton to the Ohio & Erie Canalway! We are excited to have you on board with the Event & Development Team.
Classes ended last week, and I started my summer internship today with the Ohio and Erie Canalway Coalition! I’m working alongside the Event & Development Team, which means I’ll be exposed to many of the roles of PR professional. I’m particularly excited to assist with event execution (because after the pandemic, there’s nothing quite like seeing a bunch of happy people together in one place). Special thanks to Andrea Ferraro, Ph.D., APR for her continued guidance and to Daniel Rice and Emily Cooney Gyulai for their warm welcomes. I grew up biking and walking my dogs on the Towpath Trail, so contributing to the preservation and development of the Ohio & Erie Canalway only feels right!

It was a beautiful day for a hard hat tour to view the progress of the Akron Civic Commons 2.0 Lock 3 Park. Coming this fall!
Today I took a hard hat tour of Akron’s Lock 3 Park. I spent 2.5 years on the core team for the design of this park so it was a surreal experience to stand on the base of Maynard Performance Pavilion, knowing exactly how special this place is and will be. Parks, trails, and open spaces are absolutely essential. I love Lock 3 and cannot wait until it opens this Fall!

Inspired by the enthusiasm at a bird-watching event, Akron Civic Commons team member, Roger Riddle made the realization that the diverse flora and fauna found at Akron's Summit Lake could draw interest to the area, connect people with the Civic Commons work, and shift the narrative of the neighborhood park. "There was no better way to combat a longtime, stigmatized reputation of the lake as a polluted and unsafe place than showcasing the wonderful plants, animals and birds for which Summit Lake is home." #AkronOhio #SummitLake #TowpathTrail #OhioErieCanalway #AkronCivicCommons #ReimaginingCivicCommons
"There was no better way to combat a longtime, stigmatized reputation of the lake as a polluted and unsafe place than showcasing the wonderful plants, animals and birds for which Summit Lake is home, Roger Riddle says. “People thought (Summit Lake) was dangerous, or dirty. Yet that way of thinking about the lake is based on a past reality. There’s no better way to show that than sending someone beautiful pictures on a postcard with plants and wildlife enjoying the area.” https://lnkd.in/dQAj29kX

Ohio & Erie Canalway Coalition reposted this
“We believe that to build a more equitable Akron, our city needs more places that intentionally invite and connect people of all backgrounds, fostering much-needed empathy and understanding.”— Kyle Kutuchief Akron program director, Knight Foundation In 2023, Akron Civic Commons began utilizing an Abundant Akron framework — developed by core team members and informed by the team’s six years of Civic Commons work — to guide future strategy and activities. The three pillars of Abundant Akron are Connectivity, Safety, and Love. Activating our public assets with diverse programs has a way of bringing people together, not only because of shared interests, but by sparking curiosity and promoting inclusivity. See what an Abundant Akron looks like in this photo essay reflecting on the past year’s efforts. #connection #safety #love #publicspace #akron #abundance #diversity #inclusion #equity Demetrius Lambert-Falconer Daniel Rice Roger Riddle Talia Hodge Tim Fitzwater Bronlynn Thurman Dan H.
