NYC's newest public pool is going to be a beauty! The initiative to bring +POOL to the New York City waterfront addresses the need for safe swimming spaces, especially in the context of extreme heat and the recent lifeguard shortages. Safe swimming access is crucial for public health and provides relief during hot weather. Public pools serve as communal spaces that foster social connections and community engagement. They offer more than just a place to swim; they become hubs for events and activities that bring people together, promoting social cohesion and well-being. Governor Hochul's broader initiative, NY SWIMS, recognizes the importance of swimming, especially for children. By investing in the renovation and construction of pools in high-need neighborhoods, the program aims to improve safety, promote fitness, and provide recreational opportunities. This is more than just our newest pool, it's addressing the broader issues related to community well-being, safety, and the promotion of innovative urban solutions.

Garden Town partners, East Herts District Council, are to launch a series of community forums that will give residents more information on housing developments planned for the local area. Starting this month, the forums will bring planners, local councillors, developers and residents together under one roof to discuss future plans for East Herts. The Garden Town villages in Gilston will be the first development up for discussion on Tuesday 27 February, 6.30pm to 8.30pm, Gilston and Eastwick Village Hall, CM20 2RB. And you don’t have to be an East Herts resident to attend, anyone living across the wider #Harlow & Gilston Garden Town area or has an interest in the project is welcome on the evening. Further community forums will be held approximately every two months with Stortford Fields, Hert3 and Ware2 all expected to feature this year. Councillor Vicky Glover-Ward, East Herts Executive Member for Planning and Growth, said: “We know that planning is a major area of interest and concern for the residents of East Herts. “That is why improving how we communicate and share information around development is a key priority for our joint administration. “We want people and communities to actively engage in shaping the places where they live, work and play and effective community engagement is key to this.” #transport #housing #newhousing #development #community #environment #greeninfrastructure #infrastructure #planning #publicsector #walking #cycling #travel

been selling to parks and recreation agencies for two years and here's what we've learned on what they look for when evaluating new amenities for their parks and open spaces. Trying to keep these criteria in mind as we develop our next product: - Aesthetically Pleasing - minimal impact to surrounding space - full-service - zero obligation for city staff to install or maintain   - Inclusive -  cater to a wide ranges of ages and physical abilities - Accessible to individuals with disabilities - Durable and weather resistent. -Safe: low risk of someone getting hurt.  - Community Engagement and Appeal: can attract more visitors to the park - Customizable: incorporate themes, colors, or local culture - Cost Effectiveness: Good value for the money, ideally with opportunity to recover costs) Parks and Rec Pros - What did I miss?

Local people and organisations asked how new Langarth Garden Village community hall can meet local needs   Individuals and organisations in and around Truro who are interested in running activities and events in a new community hall planned for Langarth Garden Village are being asked for feedback to ensure it is designed to meet local needs.     Before an application for planning permission is submitted by the Langarth Garden Village project team later this year, we want to involve those who will be putting on events and activities so that the new facility meets their needs. It will be part of a wide range of community assets, including new parks and urban squares, green spaces, water features, cycle and walking routes, cultural facilities as well as community buildings.   A short online survey is asking them about the types of programmes and activities they want to provide or attend.  The survey will capture feedback that can be used to ensure that the proposed new community hall provides a welcoming space and is designed to accommodate a variety of group activities and community events.    This could include wellbeing and exercise classes, health clinics, children’s birthday parties, soft play for little ones, wedding receptions/private parties, film and music nights, and much more.    Cornwall Council is working with a specialist community leisure company to liaise with individuals and local community organisations to determine the facilities, equipment, and storage requirements for the new building.    SJ SLC is asking those who may be interested in using the new community hall for events and activities to fill out a short online survey with information about what they would like to run at the venue, as well as identifying their facility and equipment needs.      The survey is open until Friday 1 March 2024 and is available here https://lnkd.in/eYcRA_UM   SJ SLC will then use the feedback to assist the Council in identifying a sustainable and deliverable mix of facilities to shape the detailed design of the new community hall.

What is CEG's vision behind community spaces? 1- Social Interaction: Community spaces provide a central location for residents to meet and socialize, encouraging neighbors to interact with one another and fostering a sense of community spirit. This can lead to stronger social ties and increased social support among neighbors. 2- Connectivity: Community spaces serve as a hub for information exchange and communication, allowing residents to stay connected and informed about neighborhood events, initiatives, and news. 3- Safety and Security: Well-designed community spaces can contribute to a safer environment by promoting a sense of community watch and encouraging residents to be more vigilant and connected with each other. 4- Community Events: Community spaces serve as ideal venues for organizing various events such as festivals, fairs, and cultural gatherings. These events bring residents together, promoting a sense of unity, cultural exchange, and understanding among diverse groups of people. 5- Recreational Activities: These spaces often provide recreational facilities such as parks, playgrounds, sports courts, and walking trails, promoting physical activity and overall health. They offer residents a convenient and safe place to engage in various recreational activities without having to travel far from home. 6- Sense of Belonging: Community spaces create a shared identity among residents, fostering a strong sense of belonging and pride in the neighborhood. This can lead to a more active and engaged community, where residents are motivated to contribute to the betterment of the area through various collaborative initiatives and projects. #civil #civilengineering #layoutdesign #tennessee #chattanoogatn #chattanooga #unitedstates #communityspaces #CommunityInteraction #connectivity #culturalexchange #neighborhood #neighbors #subdivision #residential
