Stone Park

Address:
1200 Block of Lechlade St.

A neighborhood pocket Park (.26 acre), is located off of Roosevelt Blvd at 1200 block of Lechlade Street.

The land was once part of a dairy farm owned by the Stone family. By the mid 1940s, however, the area and surrounding land was developed into Riverside Terrace homes. Reportedly, the Stone family and the city arranged a land swap to create Stone park–in the center of the neighborhood.

In 2017, a group of neighbors formed a Florida non-profit, Friends of Stone Park and worked with the city to create a community garden. Today, there are 15 raised beds tended by 10 gardeners.
