Step into the past at Fairmount Park, one of the few public parks designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers in Southern California. Discover how to plan for a 28-acre park with over a century of history with a behind-the-scenes look at its evolving master plan—plus coffee and pastries to start the morning.
Pamela Galera, FASLA will be joined by Oscar Johnson (MIG), Rosy Aranda (Cahuilla/Serrano) filmmaker and Professor, and Glenn Wenzel of the Riverside Historical Society and the Friends of Mt. Rubidoux to share what it takes to balance history, community needs, and future vision.
Stick around after for a casual, buy-your-own lunch at Tio’s Tacos and optional afternoon exploring Riverside’s arts scene including the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture. And while you are in downtown check out the interactive “Still Here” mural located across from the historical courthouse.
