Creating Space Detroit

BAGLEY COMMUNITY PARK Starting with our purchase of the 2 vacant lots at the corner of Santa Maria and Northlawn in early 2018, we have begun the transformation of what was once a neighborhood dumping ground into a multi-generational park. In May, 2018 we had a work party where we began work on a path and a shelter in the park. Today the path and shelter along with a firepit have been completed. Planter boxes have been built and are placed around the edges of the park and soon, we will be fixing several benches into the ground. Winter is here so our final landscaping will happen when the weather improves in time for next summer. BAGLEY COMMUNITY CENTER In early November, 2018 we received a generous donation of the empty, blighted house adjacent to our park! We are now beginning the hard work to transform the house into a neighborhood asset as a community center. Our plans include neighborhood discussions to get feedback from the community on what neighbors would like to see included in the Community Center. We are also working on developing community partnerships and very importantly, funding. The house is going to require a tremendous amount of work to get into a useable state and so we will be doing alot of fundraising efforts as we try to get the work done! ANYTHING HELPS. If you are interested in becoming a part of our team of volunteers or if you have a community partnership to recommend, please contact us by email directly here. If you would like to make a cash donation to help us build the community center, please do so through the here!
