Westside Big Idea*<br />

Infrastructure Project<br />

Westmoreland Park<br />

#3<br />

The Westmoreland School was created in late 1800 as African American public school to served children in the<br />

neighborhood. After it closed, it was repurposed as CIC Head Start and the surrounding land served as a public<br />

space. This large swath <strong>of</strong> green space, which sits in the heart <strong>of</strong> the community, could increase opportunities <strong>for</strong><br />

safe recreation, arts, events, social connections, and daily community life. The park planning phase happened in<br />

2017, and implementation <strong>of</strong> those plans could reactivate the space <strong>for</strong> Danville residents, especially those who<br />

live in Westside.<br />

*<br />

Big Ideas are intended to spark discussion and create excitement about potential within the <strong>Opportunity</strong><br />

<strong>Neighborhoods</strong>. These projects and programs are aspirational, with some further along than others. The hope is<br />

that they can help residents reimagine their spaces, consider sustainable ways to advance neighborhood goals,<br />

and inspire tangible ways to focus energies and bring Big Ideas to life.<br />
