Garden Pre-School Cooperative founder Alma Rodriguez originally designed this Children's Garden in 1996. The continuing development has been guided by the Friends of Van Vorst Park, Inc, which also envisioned and created the renovation of historic Van Vorst Park in 1999.
As children play and have storytelling in this area, please do not let animals in the gardens.
Thank you,
The Friends of Van Vorst Park, Inc.
Erected by The Friends of Van Vost Park, Inc.
