Share Your Thoughts on the Preferred Design for the Midtown Linear Park — Survey Closes Soon!

Over the past several months, hundreds of community members have shared ideas, priorities, and creative thinking that have guided the design process. Building on everything we heard, the Project Design Team has developed a Preferred Design that brings together the most supported elements into one cohesive vision for the new Community Space.

While the design reflects the community’s goals and priorities, it remains conceptual — and we’d like your input one more time before moving forward.

Your feedback is essential. It only takes a few minutes to complete the survey.

View the design boards and share your thoughts through a short online survey. Every response helps refine the final layout, programming, and overall experience of the new park.

🔗 Participate Ulster: Midtown Linear Park – Preferred Design Survey - https://ulstercountyny.gov/linear-park-design-survey

What to Expect:

* Tell us what you’re most excited about and how well the spaces and activities reflect your vision.

Thank you Erica for your beautiful photos/words 💛

with - I cried all of the tears last night watching the projects that received funding last night from Kingston Common Futures, a deeply community focused, managed, driven and intentioned program that utilized community members in the most beautiful way! From mentors, to developers of the fund program, to decision makers, application readers and SO much more.

It was an evening well spent and I am so grateful for all that happens in Kingston, especially when ego ain’t got a thang to do with it. They focused on so much, from our relationship to money, justice srojns language (as the US is NOT a mono-lingual country)societal & structural and personal power dynamics.

Thank you for inviting me to be witness. I would applaud twice to all that you’ve done and will do!
