• Everybody's Garden is located at the corner of Elizabeth and Lytle streets, part of a playground and recreation area situated at the foot of the bridge over the railroad tracks. This is one of two gardens that serve the Riverside or Below-The-Tracks community. These corner lots have been tended since 2007 by Hazelwood resident Jim McCue, known locally as "Saint Jim the Composter", and offers a mix of raised beds for annuals as well as perennial features like apples, peaches, asparagus, and figs available to everybody!

  • The Glen Hazel Garden was founded in 2012 by the Glen Hazel Tenant Cooperative Council President Mike Wilson and the Urban Ag Team. The space is available for residents to grow food and features a composting station and a tool shed built by volunteers from The Mission Continues. The garden is located on Johnston Avenue at Roselle Court.

  • The two-acre Plaza at Hazelwood Green is the site’s first outdoor public space and the civic heart of the site. Construction of the Plaza is complete, and the space is now open for public enjoyment.

    The Plaza was designed by Gustafson Guthrie Nichol (GGN) and incorporates input from focus groups that included Hazelwood neighborhood representatives, sustainability and park design experts, Hazelwood youth, and programming and event managers. The Plaza occupies a rectangular two-acre space south of the Mill 19 building and includes rain gardens, pollinator gardens, lawns, trees and native vegetation, and hardscape surfaces that will enable the space to accommodate a range of uses, public programs, and events. The focal point of the space will be a tiered water feature. Framed by shade trees, the water feature will offer a gentle flow of water, creating a tranquil spot for people of all ages to enjoy.
