Let's Get More Greenspace on the Southside
This empty lot is currently used illegally for vehicle storage.
But it could be a cool community space!
The City of St Petersburg owns an empty lot at 6th Ave S and 26th St S in the Palmetto Park neighborhood. It's currently being used illegally for storage for vehicles in various states of disrepair.
The south side has long been underserved when it comes to greenspace and public amenities. Our neighbors to the north in Historic Kenwood enjoy the expansive Seminole Park, while Palmetto Park has only the Palmetto Park Tot Lot, a small playground roughly a quarter the size of Seminole Park.
We can do better!
Our neighbors want a place to relax, connect with nature, and connect with one another, and this lot offers exactly that opportunity. Converting it into greenspace aligns directly with the Community Redevelopment Area's mission and represents precisely the kind of community-driven improvement the program was created to support.
