Crandall Park Neighbors Create Corner Greenspace


Monday, November 2, 2015

On Saturday, October 31, neighborhood residents, YSU students, and YNDC worked to create a new greenspace at the corner of Alameda and Ford, near Crandall Park.

Volunteers planted 8 trees, which were donated for the project, cleaned up overgrown sidewalks and curbs, trimmed overgrown street trees, and removed brush at a nearby vacant home. The project will beautify a prominent corner in the neighborhood where two dilapidated houses once stood, one of which was demolished earlier this year. The new greenspace will be complete by the end of the year. Crandall Park South Neighborhood Association has taken the lead on the project, with support from YNDC, the Mahoning County Land Bank, and the Raymond John Wean Foundation.
