The park became a reality
"This is a park that comes from the people. It is about turning violence into peace, turning strangers into friends, turning an Earth Day clean-up into year-round beauty. This park is about dreaming big, even when you can't imagine it to be possible. It is about calling out for help in your pain and reaching out people you might not think could care, would pay attention or notice you, and asking for their help anyway. This park is about reclaiming land neglected and abandoned within our city. It is about inspiring other neighborhoods to organize and do the same. It is about creating an extraordinary future for our children. It is about saying we deserve better and that we will get better and that we won't stop until this park is a reality."
