This past weekend the HPCC hosted two events to mark the “opening” of the new community greenspace on the corner of Bryant Street and N. Euclid Ave. This new parklet is the result of a unique agreement between the HPCC and the property owner, the Highland Park Community Development Corporation (HPCDC). On Saturday, approximately 30 volunteers came out for a *Neighborhood Cleanup *to beautify the space – amazing considering the cool, damp weather! *Thank you Colley, Sam, Lauren, Renee, Peter, Kathleen, Juliana, Laura, Andrea, Jim, Ava, Lucy, Mary Beth, Tim, Jonathan, Troy, **Frank, **Sabrina, Bob, Justin, Mac, Howard, Anna, Zoe, Randy and any I missed!* Special thanks also to* LaScola’s* for providing coffee and cider for our volunteers, and to *Grounded Strategies* for providing the tools. On Sunday, the parklet was transformed into a Pumpkins Patch! Upwards of 200 visitors came by and explored the parklet, chose pumpkins, enjoyed the decorations, and visited Shelob’s den (or was it Aragog’s?). The HPCC also distributed children’s Halloween craft packs and worksheets for drawing Super Playground redesign ideas. Special thanks to *Bryant Street Market* for co-sponsoring the event - - *and thank you to all the folks who generously donated to the Vintage Senior Center and the HPCC. * Attached are a few pictures of the events - - *To read more about both events and see lots of pictures, visit https://hpccpgh.org/ <https://hpccpgh.org/> . * Stephanie Walsh HPCC President -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>
