Sara D. Roosevelt Park
In 2006, an effort was announced to renovate Chinatown's Sara Delano Roosevelt Park (SDR). Local residents, community groups, and schools formed the SDR Coalition to take an active role in the reconstruction efforts. HSC held multiple "Visioning Days" and other activities to promote the community’s involvement in the new design for the park. “We are looking for ways to reach out to the predominately Chinese speaking park users, a group that is typically not involved in civic processes,” explained Anne Frederick, HSC's Executive Director. “These games are designed to be nonverbal, and fun." The project is still being developed by the SDR Coalition.
