About Our Gardens & Green Spaces
Community Gardens, Parks and Green Spaces have been identified as important Quality of Life items in all of our community plans.
The successful development of a community garden in each of these communities has demonstrated how important these gardens can be to bringing communities together. They serve literally as common ground and provide beauty to neighborhoods as well as provide fresh fruits and vegetables for those who may not have access to them otherwise.
The BRRAlliance Recognizes Four Gardens in our Community:
The Black Rock Heritage Garden on Hamilton St.
The Farmer’s Garden on Farmer and Guernsey Sts.
The Riverside Peace Garden on Ontario and Tonawanda Sts.
The Esser St. Garden on Esser and Henrietta Sts.
We would like to increase the number of community gardens in all of our neighborhoods. If anyone is interested in working on a community garden please feel free to contact us!
The BRRAlliance Recognizes Several Parks and Playgrounds
Parks, Playgrounds, Trails, and Greenspaces are the backbones of a community. Explore what Greenspaces are in your neighborhood.
