Summary

Blake St Pocket Park is a lush, hidden gem in Beaver Hills. At its entrance, neighbors are immediately welcomed in by the murals, herb garden, and food pantry that Patrice and her family maintain. This year, we primarily worked on the stone dust pathway that winds through the front of the park and leads back to a lovely stone bench and open field at the rear of the park. Patrice and her family clearly love the park and their community, reflected by the high level of care that they put into maintaining this inviting space.
