Turtle Park at Jordan Downs — a community recreational park built as part of the City of Los Angeles’ master redevelopment effort in Watts, creating safe outdoor space for residents.
Tanco was selected to construct Turtle Park within the Jordan Downs public housing redevelopment in Watts, Los Angeles — a landmark urban renewal initiative led by the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA). The 1.4-acre park features a distinctive turtle-themed play structure, shade canopies, landscaping, drainage infrastructure, site lighting, and accessible pathways designed to serve a multigenerational community.
Public projects of this nature require strict compliance with prevailing wage, LEED requirements, and community impact protocols — areas where Tanco’s project administration team excels. The completed park has become a beloved community asset in Watts, and Tanco takes pride in having delivered infrastructure that directly improves quality of life for Jordan Downs residents.
