Mpact Innovators Presents: Walking Tour – From One-N-Ten to Margaret T. Hance Park

Join us and walk away with a deeper understanding of Phoenix’s past, present and future. Ride light rail to One-N-Ten, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to serving and assisting LGBTQIA+ youth and that offers a safe space for youth of all socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Then visit nearby Margaret T. Hance Park, 32 acres of green space built over the I-10 freeway tunnel. This interstate capping project is a sterling example of how cities can reclaim and reutilize public space. Stroll through the park and explore its unique attractions – Japanese Friendship Garden, Irish Cultural Center, McClelland Irish Library, Phoenix Center for the Arts and Burton Barr Phoenix Central Library – each of which tells a story about Phoenix’s rich cultural diversity and commitment to arts and learning.
