Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates hired 313c to provide public engagement services for Gipson Play Plaza, a new 19 acre park serving as Phase I of the transformation of Raleigh’s historic Dorothea Dix Park.

313c provided public outreach and designed and facilitated a series of interactive events, digital platforms and activities to ensure that public voices have a direct impact on the park design and programming.

Today the park is under construction and is scheduled to open in early 2025.
