Description

More than 25 years ago, neighbors organized to clear a neglected lot overgrown with weeds, grasses, and dumped trash. Today, it operates as a fully community-managed space planted with flowers and greenery that draw visiting birds. The grounds offer a quiet setting to garden or unwind, with two benches positioned for views across the Excelsior.
