2nd & Cumberland Lawn Proposal

The green space at 2nd and Cumberland sits as an underutilized area of Downtown Little Rock. With a little bit on planning and investment, the space could be so much more.

With the approval of the City of Little Rock and ARDOT, CALS would like to lead efforts to install pollinator gardens, shade trees, walking paths, and community plazas for gatherings and events. Where possible, native Arkansas species would be planted that require minimal upkeep and serve as host plants for insects.

This space would provide a safe, accessible area for outdoor activity, mental relaxation, social events, and CALS programming. The space would undoubtedly become an asset for our staff, patrons, and community.

CALS is committed to seeing the community grow and thrive. This plan is just a small part of that commitment.

If you feel comfortable doing so, please reach out to the Board of Directors for the City of Little Rock at abowden@littlerock.gov. Tell your city directors to support this volunteer led effort!
