St. John’s Green Grand Opening
May 28 @ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Formerly the site of the St. John’s Hospital, this land has now been transformed into a neighborhood green space and natural stormwater management site! Allegheny Land Trust, Brighton Heights Citizens Federation, the Urban Redevelopment Authority, past project leads, and community members came together to transform this land for the benefit of the neighborhood.
Now, we are excited to invite the community to join Allegheny Land Trust, Brighton Heights Citizens Federation, Brighton Heights’ Garden Committee, the St. John’s Nurse Alumni Association, and other project funders and leaders in celebrating the site’s transformation.
We will host a ribbon cutting ceremony at the start of the event. Attendees are welcome to join the event anytime between 5 – 7 pm.
At the celebration, attendees can walk along the site’s newly installed trail to tour the new amenities, including stormwater infrastructure, stairs, benches, a bike fixing station, a community vegetable garden, and more. Attendees can also learn more about the site’s history, the neighborhood’s involvement, the new vegetable garden, the site’s habitat transformation, and more along their walk. Light food and refreshments will be available.
Join us at this celebration to honor the site’s past, present, and future.
