Blake Street Pocket Park

2024 Greenspace Report

Blake Street Pocket Park is a lush, hidden gem nestled in the Beaver Hills neighborhood. Once an abandoned space, this serene park has been lovingly transformed into a thriving community haven thanks to the dedication of local residents. As visitors enter, they are greeted by vibrant murals, a flourishing herb garden, and a well-maintained food pantry. This year, our efforts focused on stewarding the park with great care. We tackled the overgrowth by removing invasive weeds, rejuvenating the soil with fresh mulch, pruning the encroaching trees and vines along the walls, and revitalizing the stone dust path, clearing it of stubborn weeds. Patrice, her family, and Susan have poured their hearts into making the park shine as it does today, ensuring that Blake Street Pocket Park remains a beloved and welcoming space for the entire community.
