Third Space Park

Third Space Park facilitates community connectivity through gathering-focused, integrated, and inclusive space-making. In community building, a “third place” refers to a place of gathering outside of the first place, home, and the second place, work. The name Third Space reflects the intent – a “space” in which third place-making can occur through gathering over time.
