The park will be located where the St. John Street Neighborhood once stood. It was leveled in the 1970s for construction of I-475 and to create more space for industrial growth in Flint.

The park will honor the history of St. John Street by serving as a gathering space and include historical information to preserve the stories and the memories of community’s integrated neighborhood filled with local businesses, schools, and a community center that did just that --- be a community center for the very young to the very old neighbors of that time.

The park will include a playground, 3 miles of Flint River Trail,  and parking. It will, also, include a pavilion, memorial benches and other amenities.

A memorial fund has been set up for anyone wanting to contribute to the effort. Click here for more information.
