Enright Parklet, Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15206, US

Duncan Parklet, located at the intersection of Duncan Street and 54th in Upper Lawrenceville, is a community-driven project aimed at creating a permanent shared green space for residents. The park, which was decommissioned by the City of Pittsburgh, is being revitalized through the efforts of several organizations, including Lawrenceville United, Lawrenceville Corporation, Tree Pittsburgh, and the Penn State Center. The plan for Duncan Parklet includes an orchard, rain garden, community garden beds, and a playscape, all of which are being implemented with the help of volunteers and community involvement. Since the initial planning process, significant progress has been made, including the planting of 25 trees in the orchard and the addition of a garden of herbs and native perennials. The Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority has also provided funding for the installation of a rain garden, which will help manage stormwater runoff and provide a natural wildlife habitat. Moving forward, the park will continue to rely on community support, with monthly working meetings held on-site and opportunities for residents to get involved in various ways, such as watering, fundraising, and maintenance.Generated from the website
