The 2024 Parks and Greenspace Master Plan identified Rosa Edwards Park as a location for future park amenities. At their January 2026 meeting, City Council directed staff to continue developing concepts for Rosa Edwards Park and receive input from the community. Some ideas that have been proposed for the field include a playground, dog park, Safety City program space, park restroom facilities, and more.
Community members are invited to drop by and weigh in on potential park concepts that can help inform planning efforts and grant funding applications.
