Residents of Chester City and neighboring communities can enjoy a newly revitalized Sun Village Park that includes a storybook walking trail, native plantings, new picnic tables, benches and community mural art. The improvements are the culmination of a three-year, $35,000 climate resilience communities project grant funded by the William Penn Foundation. As part of the project, the nonprofit Clean Air Council worked with Olin Design to map and better understand potential climate impacts to residents living along the Delaware River. Residents provided extensive feedback on where they notice stormwater runoff, flooding and heat islands, as well as where they would like to see a green infrastructure project. Residents chose Sun Village Park and selected the new features.
