In its design, Ogden Avenue Gardens will embody sustainability and inclusivity. The park will feature eco-friendly landscaping, native plant species, and accessible pathways, ensuring that it’s a space everyone can enjoy. The focus on sustainable design also means that the park will not only be a green haven but also a contributor to the ecological health of our area.
