Gesu Community Green is a community park being developed at Oak Drive and McNichols. Although it is on Gesu Parish property, it is open to the community as a whole. So far, there are two beautiful play structures for children, a brick paver labyrinth and planted grass and trees. As funding becomes available, benches, tables and a drinking fountain will be added, along with a shade trellis, independent play components, gardens and a fence. There will be construction work going on this summer, but it is already a pleasant place to play.
