“What a cool little park, with bits of art scattered throughout. Surprisingly fun to explore for such a small park, with mini trails climbing up terraces. Great place to bring a little dog, or to introduce a dog to hiking! As always, and as many signs here remind you, please clean up after your dog.”

“Its an awesome spot. Ive been living on 57 and Benner for over 2 decades and this park has only gotten better as the years passed by. A special thanks to the woman who created this park and also a big thank you to the only guy who takes it upon himself to add or change things in the park for improvements. You can tell that just by speaking with him, he is passionate about this park.”

“Amazing hidden spot in the middle of the neighborhood. Local residents have done well maintaining this hand built art park. Myself and a friend, REBDUCE, were able to host a really fun event here a few months ago as well. Check for #FiveDollarArtParty presented by #ArtWaterLife đŸ’Ļ”
