Links to Information About Parks and Community Spaces
Third Place Commons is an indoor/outdoor urban park and town square. It is sponsored by Friends of Third Place Commons, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, and supported by generous in-kind contributions by Third Place Books and local merchants.
For more information about urban parks and partnerships, we suggest visiting a fascinating website Project for Public Spaces.
