Broadway Tunnel East Mini Park

Broadway Gardens, or Broadway Tunnel East Mini Park if you want to be formal about it, is a tiny plot of land above the eastern end of the Broadway Tunnel.
Blink and you might miss it. But there’s a nice story here. In 2008, this was a depressing looking patch of dirt and asphalt. Then a public-​private partnership redeveloped the land into a children’s garden. The kids spend time growing things, learning about nature, and feeling good about themselves, and in return, this little corner of the neighborhood has been beautified.
The City later expanded the garden’s mission, setting aside space for elderly residents of the Lady Shaw Senior Center, giving them some badly needed fresh air and a creative outlet.
Unfortunately, to protect the flowers and vegetables, the City keeps the gate locked, but if you’re walking by, you can still appreciate the nice work done by these volunteer gardeners.
