Event Details
Karen Cragnolin Park (KCP) was purchased as a long-standing auto-crushing junkyard in 2006. For almost two decades, RiverLink has invested in the property by removing concrete, healing the polluted soil, managing invasive plants, and creating a new park–one that showcases its context in mother nature and cultural history, tells its story of remediation, and honors RiverLink’s founder, Karen Cragnolin. Designed with flood resilience in mind, KCP performed beautifully during Hurricane Helene despite being under 20+ feet of water. We continue to invest in the park’s resilience by caring for the native pollinator meadow in partnership with Patchwork Meadows, enhancing our riparian area, and creating an aesthetically pleasing, educational, climate resilient public park for the community to enjoy.
Dates: March 4th – April 1st – May 6th – June 3rd – July 1st
