Mifflin Public Discussion at Taggart School

   
   

   

From BCA Jaganath Adhikari: I attended Taggart School, the Nepali speaking parents were there with one African-American parent. The meeting was about the improvement and remodeling of the Mifflin Square Park located between Wolf-Ritner Street and South 6th and South 5th streets. All the participants were excited about the meeting as they want to see the improvement in park. Kind of remodeling and renovation. Some suggested that there should not be food selling at the park. Instead it need to be neat and clean. There should be more benches for the people to sit and watch their kids play.. Some suggested that there should be bathrooms for both males and females. There should be separate playing area for big kids and small kids so that there won’t be any problem. People also want some flowers and water fountains. And also if possible it would be better if the park is half fenced, they said.

Each and every one hope that the park will be a peaceful and quiet place to spend time and relax. The funniest idea was that some want to install security camera and some want swimming pool inside the park. Beside some jokes there should not be any soccer, volleyball or basketball playing grounds. Some gave the example of the park that is on 1700 Broad St beside the CHOP and Health Center 2 and some gave the example of Franklin Square park and many more. As there is diverse community around the Mifflin park so each and every suggestion cannot work so I think the park need to be design in a general.
