Pogo Park aims to complete its $28 million Harbour-8 Project this October, after the Richmond City Council recently voted to provide $3 million to cover cost overruns.
Now, the Iron Triangle-based nonprofit is looking to raise the final $3 million needed to complete the project, which includes Harbour Hall —a community center that doubles as Contra Costa County’s first Community Resiliency Center (CRC) — a surrounding playground with a volcanic zipline, Oak trees donated by Apple Inc. and much more.
