BUFFALO, N.Y. — Passers-by in the Elmwood Village found a stretch of pavement transformed into a pop-up park on Saturday.
It was at the corner of Elmwood and Hodge, on a block with a lot of businesses, but not a lot of space for the public to rest and relax.
This pop-up park brought seating, plants, and games for visitors to enjoy.
"The Elmwood Village Association, as a part of our 2018 strategic plan, public space and play was one of our priority areas, so we'll be doing these modular pop-up parks through the fall," Ashley Smith of the Elmwood Village Association said.
The pop-up park was made possible by a grant from the Rotary of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
They also used the space to collect ideas from neighbors about how to improve the Elmwood Village streetscape.
