Open Space

Frankford Community Development Corporation

Frankford Pause created a new community hub, a destination for city residents, and the foundation for a future permanent park. As a flexible open space with a performance stage, open lawn, and a vegetable garden, the pop-up park served as a venue for gatherings and celebrations. As an interactive art environment, the park design used bold colors and sound activated lighting that created a totally unique experience.
