About This Space

This property was acquired by NeighborSpace in 2009 to serve as an open space for the surrounding community. In 2012, state grant funding was secured in order to begin an intensive clean up, which involved the removal of a plethora of invasive species and the cab of a semi-truck! Neighbors now use the space to walk dogs, and will soon have access to community gardens.

• Community gathering space
• Lengthy walking paths
• Planted with native plants to support local pollinators
• Large grassy space - great for kids to play!
• Street parking
• No bathrooms
