Garden Park is located on the corner of Vernor Street and
Fisher
Freeway West. Garden Park was started by artist Vito Valdez, a
resident and muralist of
Southwest Detroit, and artist Mary Herbeck. The park boasts a variety
of
murals, a sculpture, a safe and clean place to play for children and
even an organic garden!!!
Mr. Valdez and Ms. Herbeck have worked very hard to put this park together and with the help of community residents it has remained a clean and safe place for children to play. The community and visitors to the site have remained very appreciative and respectful of Garden Park throughout it's existence. Mr. Valdez tells us that since its inception there has never been a time when people have vandalized the property. In fact he says that people look out for the park and help keep it clean and safe 7.
Garden Park is a model of what a few individuals can do to help beautify and restore a community.
