“This park ensures that the Johnson Brothers’ incredible legacy will be elevated beyond today. It honors the past, but it is a vessel for the future of the neighborhood that is coming into being, and this will be a place for new memories to be made.” - our President Mari Kuraishi captures the essence of Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Park.
Together with partners, donors and friends of the park, we officially reopened Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing Park today! In its new design, the park incorporates elements of the Johnson brothers’ and LaVilla’s cultural and built history while making space for a more inclusive future.
The LaVilla Link is a critical first part of the Emerald Trail that connects modern-day neighborhoods to one of our urban core’s most historically important areas. With the opening of Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing Park in sight, we’re so excited for many pedestrians and cyclists to discover LaVilla.
We were so excited to join Groundwork Jacksonville and Baptist Health on the official opening of the LaVilla Link of the Emerald Trail today. This 1.3 mile pedestrian and bike trail connects the Brooklyn neighborhood to LaVilla and the S-Line link, and is the first section of the 30-mile trail that is complete. "The Emerald Trail will be a shining jewel for this city, and it represents so much of what my administration is about," said Mayor Donna Deegan during the ribbon cutting ceremony Monday morning. "Things such as economic development, strengthening community ties, health, resilience, and infrastructure. Through the Trail, we are taking a big leap forward in all of these areas." We can't wait to see everyone getting out and enjoying this transformational aspect to our City.

Congratulations to our President Mari Kuraishi for being honored with the DIA Klechak Award at the NAIOP Northeast Florida gala, which symbolizes the epitome of public service to Downtown Jacksonville. We’re so proud to be working together towards a downtown where everyone feels they belong.
