Construction has begun on the 195 District Park Pavilion. The Pavilion is a proposed approximately 3,000-SF amenity featuring year-round dining, public bathrooms, and support space for park operations. The project will also include infrastructure upgrades to the park (e.g., WIFI service, grading and drainage improvements, and electrical upgrades). The Pavilion is intended to activate the park year-round, serve as an amenity for park users and the surrounding community, and support the 195 District’s economic development goals.

195 District Park is working toward a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to its lawn management. As part of this process, there will be a gradual reduction in the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, while gradually increasing more organic-based practices.
We’re aerating the lawn as part of our new organic lawn care practice. Aerating a lawn involves creating small holes in the soil to improve air, water, and nutrient penetration. This process helps alleviate soil compaction, promotes root growth, and enhances overall lawn health. Benefits include improved drainage, healthier grass that can better withstand drought and disease, and increased effectiveness of fertilization. Aerating also encourages a thicker, greener lawn by allowing grass to access the nutrients it needs more effectively.
