The Keefe AVE Pocket Park consists of 6 adjacent City-owned vacant lots. These lots were previously activated, but were in need of additional resources to create a robust community space where neighboring residents could gather and enjoy a pocket of green space within the Harambee neighborhood. The Love Your Block Grant, submitted by Riverworks Development Corporation on behalf of the Keefe AVE Safety Task Force, provided the resources to reinforce an existing pathway, plant native perennials throughout the lot, refurbish existing planter/benches, install three picnic tables (one with ADA accessibility), and install seven solar lights throughout the lots.
