A community on the rise!

We have been fighting blight in our community over the years. We have made great strides and are very proud of the direction in which we are heading. On this particular lot we are featuring Master Artist Muralist Curtis L. Lewis II, to create an original iconic mural that features the heart and soul of O'Hair Park Community, the people. Representing past and present residents of the community the mural that will last well into the future.    

In our efforts, we have found that not only does beautification of empty lots act as a deterrent to illegal dumping but more favorably as a COMMUNITY BUILDER. We transformed an empty lot this year that had been known for dumping into a place where the community feels proud to gather, play, laugh and learn. We want to bring this sense of community into other lots. Bringing life into empty spaces in our community will reflect the outdoor spaces that the immediate surrounding residents desire, reflecting community needs and wants. Each lot will be different and have its own character based on community input. 

Even a great neighborhood can be hindered by blighted, unkept spaces. We are transforming these same spaces through gardening, murals, play areas and beautification into spaces that are welcoming and inviting to the residents. These lots will not only boost the morale of the neighborhood but also enhance property values making O'Hair Park Neighborhood a lovable place to live.
