About the Project

The 23rd and Eads Park is a small County-owned park that is nestled in a commercial area of National Landing. The purpose of the project is to provide minor park improvements that will complement the character of the neighborhood and provide a place for visitors to gather and rest. The park improvements will enhance the visibility and aesthetics of the site, and this space will continue to offer visitors a casual use experience.

Project Goals:

  • Create a welcoming and inviting space
  • Provide a place for visitors to gather and rest
  • Enhance the aesthetics and visibility into the site
  • Update site furnishings and amenities
  • Continue to offer casual use
