Ivanhoe Village Revitalizes Virginia Drive with New Pocket Park


Ivanhoe Village is transforming an unused lot along Virginia Drive into a vibrant new pocket park, bringing fresh green space to the neighborhood. Led by the volunteer-run Ivanhoe Village Design Committee, this project will turn the site in front of City Well #3 into an inviting park with native plants, unique seating, and local artwork.

The new Ivanhoe Village pocket park will add life to an area that has been underutilized, creating a welcoming spot for residents to enjoy. Carefully planned by local volunteers, the park will include paths for maintenance vehicles to access City Well #3, while dedicating the remaining space to greenery and seating near Virginia Drive. Additionally, the large oak trees currently on the property will be preserved, enhancing the park’s natural feel.

Features of the Ivanhoe Village Pocket Park


The Ivanhoe Village pocket park will serve as a scenic extension of the community’s popular Virginia Drive Live events, giving residents a space to relax and socialize. The pocket park’s design prioritizes both functionality and beauty, with paved access for city maintenance and an inviting layout to engage visitors.

This project has received considerable support, including a generous grant from Commissioner Stuart, with funds matched by the Ivanhoe Village Main Street organization. This grant partnership highlights the community’s commitment to the pocket park, creating a true neighborhood effort to bring a lively new space to Virginia Drive.

Once complete, the Ivanhoe Village pocket park will offer residents a beautifully crafted outdoor spot to gather, surrounded by art, native plants, and existing oaks that create a welcoming, shaded environment. This addition to Virginia Drive embodies Ivanhoe Village’s ongoing dedication to enhancing community spaces and adding character to the neighborhood.

Watch for updates as Ivanhoe Village prepares to unveil this pocket park and transform Virginia Drive into a flourishing new destination for locals and visitors alike.
