A Gift to the Community...
Our vision is to create a place of beauty, peace, and renewal in the midst of our daily lives by providing a contemplative space that is open and available to all members of our community.
The Chico Community Labyrinth Project (CCLP) is a non-profit organization that is raising funds to build a permanent, centrally-located labyrinth for the Chico community at Children's Playground, in downtown Chico. The Project has received approval from the City of Chico to develop this unique community facility and has received support from numerous local community members, businesses, and organizations. The funding source for the project is through community donations, fundraisers, and grants. Your support is greatly appreciated.
The labyrinth will be a valuable addition to our community by offering an activity that people of all ages can enjoy, from children to seniors. Our parks are a treasured asset in our community and it is important to re-vitalize the area in and around Children's Park by offering additional wholesome activities. The labyrinth has been shown to provide health benefits as well as mental and emotional benefits. It also serves as:
- a focal point for celebrating community events and for healing
- a place for individuals to commemorate important occasions in their lives
- a recreational activity for school children and park visitors
- a reconciliation resource for community groups in conflict
- a way to support both inner peace and world peace
- an activity for the physically challenged and wheel-chair bound
The Children's Park Labyrinth will be a permanent structure created
with high quality materials. The design is a traditional Chartres style
labyrinth and is planned to be 42 feet in diameter, with an 11-circuit
path. The site chosen for the labyrinth is located in a quiet and
serene area of Children's Park near the stream and is easily accessible
to the community at large. Combined with the newly constructed
Northern California History Museum and Bidwell Mansion, the
labyrinth will be an additional attraction to the Chico Community.
