About This Space
This property was acquired by NeighborSpace in 2009 to serve as an open space for the Powhatan Farms community. The park features a walking path, large lawn area, bioretention ponds and native plantings. Neighbors now use the space to walk dogs, and will soon have access to community food gardens.
