Edgehill Community Memorial Garden

I would love to know what the story behind the Edgehill Community Memorial Garden is. It’s a huge plot of land right behind the Nashville Public Library Edgehill branch on the corner of Edgehill and 12^th. The Garden has a playground, a swingset, a baseball diamond, two shelters, some benches, some asphalt walking paths, and a concrete slab that looks like it could have been a basketball court at some point. But mostly the garden is just just grass. It was neat to see a bunch of kids from the nearby apartments playing there after school, but I wouldn’t want to be in the garden after dark. However, the space is probably safer and friendlier now than it was five years ago when the park was founded by Reverend Dick Allison and the Organized Neighbors of Nashville.
