This seven-year project was made possible by the persistent effort of devoted volunteers. The major expense for the construction was funded through Community Development Block Grant Funds. With the playground finished in 2001, WCG took on the responsibility of the long term care and maintenance of the playground, including "Community Planting" sessions to keep the area plush with colorful flowers. In addition, the Pleasant Street Neighborhood Network Canter, in partnership with the Worcester Art Museum, a "Peace Wall" based on the mosaic mural outside the Art Museum was installed in the spring of 2002. Thanks to WCG's partnership with the Down Town Neighborhood Partners, Pleasant Street Neighborhood Network Center, All Saints church, Hawley Street Gardeners, and neighborhood residents, the "Community Build" continues to be an exciting asset in the neighborhood.

This garden, a city-owned lot at Valley and Castle Streets in the midst of the Castle Street neighborhood served as a meeting place and garden center for residents.
