South Bend on Purpose

36 - Aaron Perri on What a Park Means to a City


Listen Later

This episode, though part of our live series, is a throwback to the season two format of the two of us in the studio with a guest. We interviewed Aaron Perri, Executive Director of Venues Parks & Arts, about his work to re-imagine the future of Howard Park, South Bend’s oldest and largest park. Our wide-ranging conversation explores Aaron’s history with South Bend, his thoughts on what a good park can do for a neighborhood, how he thinks about ending creative projects, the founding of Howard Park as an innovative pleasure ground, and what Howard Park’s multi-million dollar transformation will mean to the city at-large. It is one of our favorite episodes.
