A high-quality workplace is a boon to health, engagement, and the bottom line.A forward-thinking approach to healthcare requires a focus on prevention, not treatment—and the workplace is no exception. Even as the costs of healthcare rise, more than two-thirds of health-related employee costs can be attributed to absenteeism and “presenteeism.” A healthy workplace addresses these issues by improving employee performance and engagement, which ultimately delivers bottom-line savings.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to innovation space.Innovation requires wrestling with complexity, contradiction, and intersection. And different organizations require distinct support at varying times. Great spaces for innovation are contextual and flexible environments that support both inspiration and contemplation; both broad discovery and deep focus.

BUILD HEALTH CHALLENGECHANDLER PARK HEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD STRATEGY

ZIP CODE 48213

Observing the challenges of the lack of places for our children to thrive and learn, places for our older residents to exercise and socialize and

families limited areas for picnicking and family gatherings, we see obstacles that can be toppled. Our portrait paints a very real picture, a picture of a revitalized Chandler Park to serve as the stepping stone for

growth on Detroit’s eastside.

The vision for the park is a multi-facility education, recreation and conservation campus located on 200 acres of the park. The facilities will complement the existing Chandler Park Golf Course and Wayne County Family Aquatic Park and will include:

Education

A new high performing K-12 Charter School

Recreation Spectator outdoor and indoor sports

venues for all ages and genders covering a variety of recreational sports. Conservation

A self-contained storm water management and irrigation system

A Conner Creek Greenway Loop Community gardens and wetlands Special installations to convert

Chandler Park into a “living lab” for environmental and ecology related education.

Chandler Park ConservancyChandler Park ConservancyChandler Park Conservancy

The Chandler Park Conservancy launched Fall 2014, as a result of a multiyear initiative spearheaded by a resident led collaborative of organizations called the Chandler Park Promise Coalition (CPPC).

This group was dedicated to Detroit’s eastside, its youth and its com-munity. Over the last 5 years they have worked tirelessly in rebuilding

not merely a locale but an iconic part of Detroit’s eastside identity that at one time served as the face of what our city stood for, a place

of opportunity and advancement.

Our plans for Chandler Park is very consistent with two significant plans—Detroit Future City and the Lower Eastside Action Plan. Several of the imperatives outlined in

both plans support CPPC’s overall vision for the Park by supporting the eastside community as an “Ecological Innovation Zone,”

supporting our residents and attracting new residents and using open spaces to improve the health of all Detroit

residents.

“We understand that Detroit parks must be safe for all families to enjoy,” said Chief James Craig. “That is why we have deployed the Citywide Parks Patrol unit to oversee the 300 plus

parks within our city. These dedicated officers are tasked with ensuring the safety and well being of our citizens

and visitors alike.”

• Integrating the power of design into multidisciplinary research for improved health and wellness

residents of the surrounding community require better and safer access to Chandler Park, especially from schools.

the neighborhood lacks a common center, but the park could be a hub for the promotion of nutrition, fitness and education.

direct care providers seek better outlets for outreach to the community. the park provides a logical setting.
