The City of Davis has announced, with a palpable sense of community spirit, the grand opening of a new patio at the Davis Senior Center. On January 16 at 3 p.m., visitors are invited to join the celebration at 646 A Street in Davis, where refreshments will be on offer for all who attend. This new addition is envisioned to breathe fresh life into the center's outdoor offerings, according to the City of Davis.
The patio project has ambitiously transformed the outdoor space into one that promises versatility and vibrancy. It features a steel frame pavilion, newly laid concrete, ample seating, native plants that whisper the language of the locale, pathways to various rooms, and enhancements to restroom accessibility. Outdoor lighting, heaters, and catering counters are strategically placed to ensure the space is fully equipped to host. In a move to more clearly connect the indoors with the outside, the patio is designed to effortlessly become a backdrop for events held at any time of day or under the evening stars, as reported by the City of Davis.
Generous support has fueled this project's journey from conception to reality. Key contributors include the now dissolved Senior Citizens of Davis, Inc., the George and Lena Valente Foundation, along with other community benefactors. Notably, funding streams have been diverse, tapping into resources like Park Impact Fees, Parks In-Lieu Fees, Construction Tax, and the all-important Community Development Block Grant Program, as per the City of Davis.
