Island Park

In 2019, CVANB learned that the lot adjacent to our building was available for purchase and after careful consideration and research, successful fundraising enabled CVA-NB to purchase the lot. this greenspace will complement and support our mission and provide additional space for community gatherings and family programs.

 

Along with our partner WHALE and Studio 2 Sustain, a city-wide volunteer committee is planning and overseeing the financing and construction of the park. A feasibility study informed this process of conceptual designs and a landscape architect has been engaged to manage the project, scheduled for completion in Summer of 2022.
 

The design of the project will include seating for games and community interaction and a playscape for families. Grants to support these activities are in progress.
 

The installation of Eden Soares's mural is only the first step in
heralding this process.
