Clark Street Park and Community Garden

Protect Clark Street Park illustrated banner

Welcome to a community maintained green space for neighbours to relax, gather, walk, picnic, play, pray, grow food, and support biodiversity.

Over the past five years, neighbours have planted native trees, berry bushes, vegetables, and pollinator-friendly flowers — creating a growing urban nature reserve.

Join us on the second Sunday of every month to do some communal planting and gardening from 12-3PM. Tea flasks and biscuits welcome!
