Green Space Development:
Green space development enhances the economic viability of the neighborhood.
Mechanics Retreat Park (MRP), a neighborhood landmark on the corner
of Jacksonia and Buena Vista Streets, was deeded to the Mexican
War Streets Society by the Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation.
MRP receives much-needed revitalization each season through the
efforts of neighborhood volunteers. Other neighborhood beautification
projects along Sherman and Arch Streets include the Olde Allegheny
Community Gardens, which spring forth annually with an abundant
variety of vegetables and flowerbeds; and the Green Millennium Children's
Garden, where inner-city youth connect with the earth through garden-based
educational activities.
