👍👍 The community garden is a wonderful place. I have a small plot there and grow vegetables and herbs.

    The community garden is a wonderful place. I have a small plot there and grow vegetables and herbs. The people that share the space are very friendly and eager to share tricks and tips for making things grow. I have had a few people give me seeds and transplants that I have added into my garden. I will definitely be part of this space for a long time to come.

    Just stopped to have a picnic and it has a nice urban garden

    The two-acre park utilizes its moderate size to full effect for the surrounding neighborhood. It's impressive for a modest area; with both family friendly play areas and farming plots. Surrounded on all sides by back yards and empty, partially wooded lots, it is a beautiful little spot for anyone in the neighborhood. Should be an example for nearby neighborhoods.

    Nice little park to take a walk in. They have a play area for littles, a gazebo for live 🎶 music & a community garden.

    A gorgeous park with community gardens. So peaceful and serene.

    I garden at Emerson's community garden, so I don't spend much time in the park proper. But I see and hear others, especially children, having a wonderful time, whether on the playground equipment, the gazebo, or just running on the nicely-kept grass. Dogs are another common sight. The community garden is quite attractive and well-maintained.

    It was a quite place where that was close to Shively Animal Clinic, where I could allow my cat to walk around in the shade.It was a peaceful place to take my cat for a stroll. Nobody was there. It's close to Dixie Highway so you have plenty of options to choose from if you grow an appetite. The park was small. It seems an update for the children would attract more people.

    You've got to use the park to earn the park. This is a sweet one for the neighborhood.

    A nice neighborhood park well kept, also a community garden. Folks are friendly and keep to themselves.

    Small laid back little park. Quiet and relaxing

    It’s not the length of this park, but the depth.
