"With over 45% of the population in Watts under the age of 25, the need for healthy spaces for engagement and play are critical. Over 1,000 residents developed the design of this park based on a set of principles including community, safety, healing, aspiration, empowerment, inclusivity, justice, and creativity," Scanlin said in a statement.
