Little Green on the Prairie Park: Honoring Our Past, Forging Our Future
I remember when the block now home to Little Green on the Prairie Park was mostly empty—just the curling rink to the south and an older home on the northwest corner. Then came an idea that nearly everyone embraced. According to the Centennial Chronicles, a door-to-door survey revealed that 97% of residents supported creating a park. That overwhelming backing turned a vacant lot into a thriving community space. Little Green on the Prairie Park is a living tribute to Gull Lak
