Graystone Community Open Space

About This Space

This site was once a vacant grass lot belonging to a neighbor. When threatened by development, neighbors contacted NeighborSpace, who worked with the community and property owners to purchase and conserve the site for use as a community green space. Graystone is one of the only community greenspaces within walking distance for this community.

• Includes benches and community gathering space
• Improved with an accessible ramp and large stone stairs
• Planted with a large native plant garden to support local pollinators
