Jubilee Park is a new downtown public space that will transform long-derelict empty lots between 4 and 24 Broadway into an attractive, vibrant, accessible public space, including a street-level piazza, elevated terrace, amphitheater, and storefront pavilion with public restrooms. The park will feature public art and landscape elements that reflect the diverse values and histories of the city and flexible design elements that will allow for a range of public events, gatherings, festivals, and other programming.

This emerging space is designed to anchor future improvements envisioned under the Broadway District Improvement Project, which itself will leverage the robust historic architecture and community of downtown merchants and entrepreneurs on and around Broadway.

Together these projects will not only attract new visitors to Norwich’s special downtown, including its businesses and institutions, but also will provide a unique, attractive, inclusive, and pedestrian-oriented center for the broader Norwich community, which on ordinary days will contribute to the quality of life in the city, and on extraordinary days, will provide an appropriate setting for residents to celebrate their identity, heritage, and diversity.
