Transforming a Neglected Park into a City's Favourite: James Delaney's Story

James Delaney shares his journey of transforming a neglected 40-acre park into a city's favourite spot. He started by cleaning and fixing the park with his dog, Pablo. He then involved friends and volunteers, and used art installations to attract visitors. He faced challenges with fundraising and city authorities, but persevered. The park now has restored pathways, ponds, waterfalls, and numerous sculptures and mosaics. It has become a community space, bringing together people from different backgrounds.
