The Greater Syracuse Land Bank, which owns over 90 residential vacant lots in the South Side area, will host a special meeting to seek feedback from the neighbors in order to turn one into a pocket park. The team will present three to four potential sites for the neighbors' consideration and brainstorm concepts for site design. ESF landscape architecture students will develop those designs and the team will return in April/May to obtain neighborhood input on selection of a final design. The park will be installed by June 30.

Meetings for this Tomorrow's Neighborhoods Today task force are held the last Monday of every month. Topics of discussion include: Village of Danforth historic designation, vacant properties, neighborhood resource pamphlets, Neighborhood Watch and Syracuse Land Bank demolitions and pocket parks.
