The YRP Public Space & Greening Committee of the YRP and the Mid-Govans Neighborhood Association worked together to create a Master Plan for Dewees Park. The Park is a 14.5 acre green space within the Mid-Govans neighborhood that is home to the Dewees recreation center and City gardens. In the spring of 2014 PS&G and Mid-Govans obtained the assistance of the Neighborhood Design Center to develop a Concept Master Plan for Dewees Park. The NDC has recruited a team of landscape architects to help the community begin a visioning process for the future of Dewees. Check out the master plan below! Dewees Park Master Plan 2014
Initiatives are following the Master Plan:
