PLAY ·2024 Grants ChallengeUrban Orchard: A Multi-Benefit Park in South Gate
Urban Orchard Park transforms a 7 acres of post-industrial land near the LA River into a multi-benefit park. Featuring a stormwater-cleaning wetland, an orchard with 200 fruit trees, a nature-based playground honoring Tongva history, and TPL's first workforce development program in the region with the Long Beach Conservation Corps. By providing green space, an educational garden, and fitness amenities while addressing pollution and social vulnerability, the park revitalizes a historically disinvested area and creates a more equitable community.
