Bass Park

Build Day Photos! 

Project Description:
Bass Park is located in the lot next to the Holly Street Fire Station. The vision for the park includes sustainable elements in the Mayor's Green Initiative such as rain gardens, porous pavement, a community garden, as well as providing a venue for environmental education and serving as a neighborhood-gathering place. Bass Park is the city's smallest pocket park; our plan will demonstrate what is possible within a small space to strengthen the neighborhood, provide an enjoyable landscape amenity, and create sustainable components that educate and directly benefit our community.

The design is a culmination of ideas from the meetings with residents in the area, the Lockeland Springs Neighborhood Association, the Fireman at the Holly Street Fire House #14, and the Lockeland Baptist Church, who owns the adjacent property and has agreed to allow the community garden on their property with a yearly renewal option. We are proposing fundraising efforts to cover the costs of the park and maintenance for the first year. In addition, we are creating a volunteer system to maintain the community garden based on research of other successful community gardens.  Your donation is much appreciated and please contact us if you would like to volunteer or have questions.  Thank you very much,
