Neighborhood Assets
37th Street Schoolhouse
The site of the vacant 37th Street School is a great potential asset for the Washington Park community. There are opportunities for the old building to be renovated and turned into a type of community meeting place.
Along with the potential asset brought about by the vacant 37th Street School, its replacement, Mary McLeod Bethune Academy, offers the community its own assets. Since the school also serves as a community center, it brings valuable resources to Washington Park residents, such as a gym and media center. The open area surrounding the school is also an asset to the neighborhood, providing space for community activities, such as famers' markets and other special events. |
