Description
Run by the neighborhood, this community space hosts public events and volunteer work days. The grounds feature a medicinal garden, a wetland project, and a Children's Discovery Zone. While visitors often praise the warm, family-like welcome at the gates, some note that morning playtime can occasionally be disrupted by cigarette smoke.
