Join us and make a difference in Pasadena's history!
Grab your picnic baskets, your friends, and family, and Celebrate our beautiful civic center! The City Manager says the parkland is "Surplus Property" and is pressuring the City Council to give it away and erect a 6-story hotel with is rear facing City Hall. Come enjoy this "surplus" park and hear an update about how we can save the parkland, the Julia Morgan YWCA, and our Civic Center.
Our Civic Center is 1st priority!
Who Is the Civic Center Coalition?
We are Pasadena residents who are passionate about our city. We are architects, economists, urban planners, real estate investors, historians, preservationists and community activists. We came together when we learned that the City Manager’s proposal for a massive hotel development on the entire YWCA block will destroy the civic center gardens along Garfield and Holly streets across from City Hall and encroach on the Pasadena Robinson Memorial.
