Some days go down as more memorable than others because of their impact on a community, and the reopening of historic Clark Park in the heart of Southwest Detroit last week was one such occasion.

On Thursday, June 22, Mayor Mike Duggan joined community leaders, residents, and local philanthropic organizations to celebrate the completion of the newly renovated Clark Park in Southwest Detroit. A community anchor since the 1800s, the nearly $4 million refresh of the 30-acre park includes new modern amenities, including a splash pad and an ADA-friendly playground, making it one of Detroit’s most inclusive public parks.

Colorful sports courts also round out the new play area’s lively design and more spots to enjoy the park with family and friends. Additional park improvements include:  

  • New picnic shelter
  • Sports courts (3 tennis courts, 1 futbal court, areas for bag toss and ping-pong, a junior basketball court, and outdoor fitness equipment)
  • Vernor edge entrance landscaping
  • New Park benches
  • Trees installed along the edges of the park 
  • New amenity installation (trash can/recycling bins, tables, etc.)

“Clark Park has long been a place where people gather, play, and build long-lasting memories,” said Anthony Benavides, Director of the Clark Park Coalition. “With the help of the City and generous corporate and philanthropic donors, our community youth and residents have more opportunities to play safely and learn new sports. These investments support the park’s vibrancy and help Clark Park be a place that builds community pride.”

Benavides stressed the significance of the renovations to the residents of Southwest Detroit. “The children and families of southwest Detroit now have first rate play areas that they can be proud of. Families no longer have to drive out of their neighborhood to find a splash pad on a hot day or an accessible play area. We now have new sports courts for futsal and pickleball that both children and adults can learn quickly and enjoy.”

And he added a special plea. “We ask for the community’s help in keeping these new play areas clean by putting trash in receptacles, helping pick up litter or taking trash with you to dispose of. It’s important to be an example for our children, said Benavides.

The improvements to Clark Park come at a time when Southwest Detroit is seeing a major parks renaissance. This summer, the City will complete its transformation of Riverside Park and the new Ralph Wilson Centennial Park is under active construction, which will connect to the Joe Louis Greenway by way of the recently completed Southwest Greenway. On Wednesday, June 28, the City cut the ribbon on the $7 million renovation of Roosevelt Park, which bridges Mexicantown with Corktown in front of the new Michigan Central campus.

“The strongest neighborhoods are ones that have great park amenities and residents living near Clark Park now have a truly first-class neighborhood park they can walk or bike to,” said Mayor Duggan.

“We are fortunate to have had some tremendous philanthropic partners who have helped make this day possible.”

Most of the funding for the extensive renovations to Clark Park were made possible thanks to $2.3 million from Invest Detroit through the Strategic Neighborhood Fund.

“Invest Detroit is proud to have been a part of the improvements to Clark Park,” said Maureen Anway, Vice President of Program Evaluation at Invest Detroit. “We made these investments after extensive engagement and input from the neighbors and students. That engagement is a critical component of the ongoing success of the Strategic Neighborhood Fund.”

Editor’s Note: Maureen Anway of Invest Detroit shared this additional history of the project with EL CENTRAL on a key component of the project, Participatory Budgeting.

Over 6 years ago, a Hubbard Farms resident asked Invest Detroit to consider funding a process called Participatory Budgeting. Invest Detroit said “yes” and made $330,000 available to residents who managed the process to say how that money was spent. Over 11 organizations, 36 residents, and more than 40 Western International High School students led the process to spend this money. They collected over 532 ideas from 231 different people. Residents selected 16 ideas to turn into more detailed proposals that were put on a ballot for residents and students at Western to vote on.

Three ideas were selected by residents:

  • Adding more benches, picnic tables, trash cans, etc. to Clark Park
  • Creating a chill zone where youth can hang out after school, and
  • Building an accessible playground for children of all abilities

Invest Detroit is deeply grateful to the residents who put in hundreds of hours to engage their neighbors in brainstorming and designing these ideas.

This project is an excellent example of Invest Detroit’s mission to invest in communities. Revitalization in neighborhoods can’t just lead with real estate and investment in new residents, it also needs to consider everyday amenities and support for existing residents. SNF does that through things such as the Clark Park or Bagley Streetscape improvements.

Detroit’s Strategic Neighborhood Fund, a $150 million initiative launched in 2016 by Mayor Duggan and Invest Detroit with a focus on leveraging investments in four key areas: improving parks, streetscapes, commercial corridors and single-family housing. All along the way, the plans are guided by resident input, empowering them to decide the future of their neighborhoods.

$965,000 in funding for the park renovations is coming from the City of Detroit, with the remainder of the project’s funding coming from investments made by the Gilbert Family Foundation and the Kresge Foundation. The project also received financial support from the Gordie Howe International Bridge Community Benefits Agreement.

“Our investments in public spaces like Clark Park create opportunities for residents to connect, improve their well-being, promote their overall health and strengthen their sense of community,” said JJ Velez, Director of Public Spaces for the Gilbert Family Foundation. “Clark Park’s massive renovation is especially significant, not only because it’s one of Detroit’s oldest and most utilized parks, but because it’s deeply cherished by the community and the residents of Southwest Detroit.”

Clark Park se ha transformado en un centro recreacional de primera clase

Algunos días impactan más que otros en las comunidades, y la reapertura del histórico Clark Park en el corazón del suroeste de Detroit la semana pasada, fue uno de esos.

El jueves 22 de junio, el alcalde Mike Duggan se unió a líderes comunitarios, residentes y organizaciones filantrópicas locales para celebrar la finalización del recientemente renovado Clark Park en el suroeste de Detroit. Éste ancla de la comunidad, data del siglo XIX, la renovación del parque de 30 acres tuvo un costo de casi $4 millones, que incluye modernización con un área de juegos acuáticos y un área de juegos compatible con personas con discapacidad, lo que lo convierte en uno de los parques públicos más inclusivos de Detroit.

Las coloridas canchas deportivas también completan el diseño animado del área de juegos y lugares para disfrutar con familiares y amigos. Las mejoras adicionales del parque incluyen:
• Nueva estructura de pícnic
• Canchas deportivas (3 canchas de tenis, 1 de fútbol, áreas para lanzamiento de bolsas y ping-pong, cancha de baloncesto juvenil y equipo de gimnasia al aire libre)

  • Paisajismo al lado del borde de la calle Vernor
  • Más bancas
  • Árboles instalados a lo largo de los bordes
  • Instalaciones para mayor comodidad (basureros/reciclaje, mesas, etc.)

“Clark Park ha sido durante mucho tiempo un lugar donde la gente se reúne, juega y crea recuerdos duraderos”, mencionó Anthony Benavides, director de Clark Park Coalition. “Con la ayuda de la Ciudad y generosos donantes corporativos y filantrópicos, los jóvenes y residentes de nuestra comunidad tienen más oportunidades de jugar de manera segura y aprender nuevos deportes. Estas inversiones respaldan la vitalidad del parque y ayudan a Clark Park a ser un lugar que genere orgullo en la comunidad”.

Benavides destacó la importancia de las renovaciones para los residentes del suroeste de Detroit. “Los niños y las familias del suroeste de Detroit ahora tienen áreas de juego de primer nivel de las que pueden estar orgullosos. Las familias ya no tienen que conducir fuera de su vecindario para encontrar juegos acuáticos en un día caluroso o un área de juegos accesible. Ahora contamos con nuevas canchas deportivas para futbol sala y pickleball que tanto niños como adultos pueden aprender rápidamente y disfrutar”.

Agregó una súplica especial. “Pedimos la ayuda de la comunidad para mantener limpias estas áreas de juego colocando la basura en los recipientes, ayudando a recoger la basura o llevándosela. Es importante ser un ejemplo para nuestros hijos, dijo Benavides.

Las mejoras a Clark Park llegan en un momento en que el suroeste de Detroit está experimentando un importante renacimiento de parques. Este verano, la ciudad completará la transformación de Riverside Park y el nuevo Parque Centenario Ralph Wilson que está en construcción y que se conectará con Joe Louis Greenway a través de Southwest Greenway recientemente terminado. El miércoles 28 de junio, la Ciudad cortó la cinta de la renovación de $7 millones del Parque Roosevelt, que une Mexicantown con Corktown frente al nuevo campus de Michigan Central.

“Los vecindarios más sólidos son los que tienen parques excelentes y los residentes que viven cerca de Clark Park ahora tienen un parque en su colonia, de primera clase al que pueden caminar o ir en bicicleta”, dijo el alcalde Duggan.

“Somos afortunados de haber tenido algunos socios filantrópicos que han ayudado a hacer posible este día”.

La mayor parte de los fondos para las extensas renovaciones de Clark Park fueron posibles gracias a $2.3 millones de Invest Detroit a través del Fondo Estratégico de Vecindarios.

“Invest Detroit se enorgullece de haber sido parte de las mejoras en Clark Park”, dijo Maureen Anway, vicepresidenta de evaluación de programas de Invest Detroit. “Hicimos estas inversiones después de una amplia participación y aportes de los vecinos y estudiantes. Ese compromiso es un componente crítico del éxito continuo del Fondo Estratégico de Vecindario”.

Nota del editor: Maureen Anway de Invest Detroit compartió esta historia adicional del proyecto con EL CENTRAL sobre un componente clave del proyecto, el Presupuesto Participativo.

Hace más de 6 años, un residente de Hubbard Farms le pidió a Invest Detroit que considerara financiar un proceso llamado Presupuesto Participativo. Invest Detroit aceptó y puso $330,000 a disposición de los residentes que gestionaron el proceso para decidir cómo se gastaría ese dinero. Más de 11 organizaciones, 36 residentes y más de 40 estudiantes de Western International High School lideraron el proceso. Recolectaron más de 532 ideas de 231 personas diferentes. Los residentes seleccionaron 16 ideas para desarrollarlas, las cuales se sometieron a votación con los residentes y estudiantes de Western.

Tres ideas fueron seleccionadas por los residentes:

  • Agregar más bancas, mesas de picnic, basureros, etc. a Clark Park
  • Crear una zona de relajación donde los jóvenes puedan pasar el rato después de la escuela
  • Construcción de un área de juego, accesible para niños de todas las capacidades

Invest Detroit está profundamente agradecido con los residentes que dedicaron cientos de horas para involucrar a sus vecinos en la lluvia de ideas y el diseño de éstas.

Este proyecto es un excelente ejemplo la misión de Invest Detroit, de invertir en las comunidades. La revitalización de los vecindarios no solo puede llevarse a cabo con bienes raíces e inversiones en nuevos residentes, sino que también debe considerar las comodidades y el apoyo para los residentes existentes. El Fondo Estratégico de Vecindarios SNF hace eso a través de proyectos como las mejoras de Clark Park o Bagley Streetscape.
Fin del cuadro de texto.

El Fondo Estratégico de Vecindarios de Detroit, una iniciativa de $150 millones lanzada en 2016 por el alcalde Duggan e Invest Detroit tiene el enfoque de aprovechar las inversiones en cuatro áreas clave: mejoramiento de parques, paisajes urbanos, corredores comerciales y viviendas unifamiliares. A lo largo del camino, los planes se guían por los aportes de los residentes, lo que les permite decidir el futuro de sus vecindarios.

$965,000 en fondos para las renovaciones del parque provienen de la Ciudad de Detroit, y el resto de los fondos del proyecto provienen de inversiones realizadas por la Fundación de la Familia Gilbert y la Fundación Kresge. El proyecto también recibió apoyo financiero del Acuerdo de Beneficios Comunitarios del Puente Internacional Gordie Howe.

“Nuestras inversiones en espacios públicos como Clark Park crean oportunidades para que los residentes se conecten, mejoren su bienestar, incrementen su salud y fortalezcan su sentido de comunidad”, dijo JJ Vélez, director de espacios públicos de la Fundación de la Familia Gilbert. “La renovación masiva de Clark Park es especialmente significativa, no solo porque es uno de los parques más antiguos y utilizados de Detroit, sino porque es muy apreciado por la comunidad y los residentes del suroeste de Detroit”.
