Have you ever seen medieval knights joust in the parking lot at Sugarloaf Mills? If not, then you missed our first Park(ing) Day in Sugarloaf event on October 17th, which celebrated the great activities at Sugarloaf Mills while being outside in a unique, pop-up park setting!
This event demonstrated how a portion of the parking lot could be transformed into a vibrant green space for people to gather. It also served as public outreach for the Sugarloaf Small Area plan, which is wrapping up recommendations now. Community members gave feedback on the mobility, placemaking, and infrastructure proposals in the plan and shared future recommendations for how to implement the CID’s mission to make Sugarloaf more connected, safe, and attractive.
With vibrant turf, lawn games, free food, and art activities led by The Hudgens Center, there was something for everyone. Hay bales, blankets, pumpkins, and mums adorned the space for a warm autumn event flair. We look forward to having more events like these at properties throughout Sugarloaf. Check out our lively event photos below!
