Parks and Potential Parks
Public Space – Ashton Heights and Buckingham Conservation Plans “The County has recently acquired land at N. 5th Road and N. Pollard Street and plans to build a park when they obtain adjacent lot (s). Specific development plans have not been identified but initial plans were to include both passive and active uses and make the park enjoyable by residents of all ages.” – Ashton Heights Neighborhood Conservation Plan, 2000 “the new Mosaic Park to the east between North Quincy Street and North Pollard Street has the potential to benefit the Buckingham community. There are plans to build a “fulbito” soccer field and a basketball court at the Park, increasing the amount of recreational space available to the youth.” – Buckingham Community Civic Association Neighborhood Conservation Plan, 2006
Virginia Square Sector Plan - 2002 Recommendation #7- Quincy Street Extension Park (Mosaic Park): •
