On the back of the Garden Park sign there is a place for poetry.  Anyone who wishes to can write down a poem here for others to see.  Mr. Valdez told us that he and Ms. Herbeck thought it was important to include a place for poetry because as they said, it too is a form of art.  Back when the Chicano Art Movement was just getting started all forms of artistic expression were used to convey ideas, inspiration and encouragement for the Chicano people.  Garden Park is a place that has evolved from that.  Garden Park is a wonderful place for people to come and see and be a part of. It is also something that the community of Southwest Detroit will continue to embrace.  A homeless person once wrote on this sign that the park reassured him that people are kind and do care.
