We, the undersigned residents of South Bend and those who love River Park- urge city officials to reconsider the planned demolition of our beloved public park. This green space is more than just a plot of land; it is a vital community hub where families gather, children play, and residents connect with nature. It serves as a refuge in our urban landscape, promoting health, well-being, and environmental sustainability. Demolishing this park would not only strip away a cherished resource but also harm the character of our city. We call on the city to protect this irreplaceable asset and explore alternative solutions that benefit both the community and the environment.
