A beautiful new park has taken shape just outside the Historic Uptown neighborhood and the MLK Business District, and its arrival will help connect the incredible stretch of businesses (from Uptown Eats and Neat Neat Neat, to Sunstate Yoga and Gypsy Souls Coffee) to the thriving EDGE District of St. Petersburg. The project, which was announced in the spring of 2021, is now open at the corner of 5th Avenue North and Dr. MLK Jr Street North.

The initiative to build this park is led by John Barkett of Barkett Realty alongside City Council Vice-Chair Gina Driscoll, Transportation Director Evan Morey, Parks and Recreation Supervisor Mike Jeffries, and other city officials.
