Under the leadership of community members Sharon and Larry Adams, the Park will
not only create a beautiful and uplifting experience in the neighborhood but will also support old and attract new local businesses, provide a gathering place for learning and celebration of culture, and provide opportunity across the neighborhood. We aim to bring about positive change through this sustainable and vibrant vision.
