Melvin Street Park

Idea:

I'd like to see the park at the top of Melvin Street cleaned up a bit. It's a beautiful little green space (probably 1/2 acre) but it's not looked after. Trees and branches fall down and stay there for years. It's in the middle of a neighborhood filled with families but there's not really anything to draw people to it. I'm not looking for a giant investment, but maybe a better path between Melvin and Broad Streets and one that connects to Epworth Circle? Even defining the boundaries of the park would help. There was playground equipment at one point, something like that, even one or two pieces, would be great.

Staff Feedback:

Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention! Parks & Trees staff will add Melvin Park to the list of City properties in need of brush removal, which will re-establish the park's open space boundaries. As well, P&T leadership will request that the City's Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Committee consider adding playground equipment to the park.
