Welcome to our social map!

We want to be sure the Belvedere works for the broadest range of people and uses so we are actively soliciting feedback and input. Our goal is to have the Belvedere active most of the time with lots of events and lots of people coming and going. In order to achieve this, we need to find out what types of events and activities people want to see there.


That is where you come in! Please review the site map and think about what types of activities you would be interested in participating in, or what types of features you'd like to see in the various zones. That will inform our design and help us ensure we are providing the right infrastructure and amenities to meet the needs of the public.


Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas, we greatly appreciate it.

move the event lawn to the city plaza/SG area to borrow building shade and open views across the river. avoids high use conflicts with KCPA

Places to sit - like there are now. Low concrete walled flower beds - but have someone actually maintain the plants.
