Reopening of Burnham Playfield
This week we celebrated the grand reopening of Burnham Playfield.
It was in 2011 when VIA was working with neighbors to develop the Quality of Life Plan as part of the Zilber Neighborhood Initiative, that Burnham Park was identified as a catalytic project. We knew that with some improvement and investment the revitalization of Burnham Park could contribute significantly to advancing the neighborhood Quality of Life Plan. Those conversations resulted in the development of the Burnham park taskforce, where neighbors and other stakeholders committed to improving the park came together to create a vision.
It brings VIA great joy to see this vision come to life.
We all deserve to live in a place that nourishes us with a healthy and sustainable environment. The revitalization of Burnham Park is a key ingredient to the nourishment of our community.
