3 South East Parks Design: Ewell Gantz, Joe Jackson, South End

The City of Lancaster needs your help! We're redesigning 3 neighborhood parks in South East and South Side neighborhoods: Ewell Gantz Playground, Joe Jackson Tot Lot, and South End Park.

Joe Jackson and Ewell Gantz will be under construction in late summer and fall of 2026. View the plans for these parks in Phase 6, below.

South End Park planning is still underway - we're still accepting public feedback on this plan! Construction anticipated in 2028 or 2029. View the concept plans for South End Park in Phase 7, below.
