Backstory and Context
Text-to-speech Audio
In 2016, the City of St. Joseph took possession of a 5-acre plot of land off Arrowhead Drive in the part of St. Joseph often referred to as the "Zoo." The surrounding streets include Safari Drive, Elephant Trail, Llama Lane, Cougar Street and Impala Street. It is a charming mid-century residential neighborhood. This undeveloped greenspace is maintained by the Parks Department as Arrowhead Park. To date, no amenities have been installed in this space making this pocket park a place of simple enjoyments. It is a place to enjoy the lawn, listen to the birds, and perhaps read a favorite book.
