In 2022, LifePointe began dreaming of transforming our decaying backyard into a beautiful shared space for the community.  We want our backyard to be a blessing to our neighborhood as we seek to be loving neighbors ourselves.  After building a team, we applied for the Nature in the City planning grant and received some funds for the design phase. We were blessed to partner with one of the best local designers – Russel+Mills – who has generously developed a top-notch landscape design at a fraction of their usual fee. They worked with our team to develop a beautiful outdoor space for the community.

In 2023 we again applied for and were granted funds from the Nature in the City program, this time for construction & implementation. We hope to break ground in summer of 2024. As we finalize details for the multi-phase approach to construction we’d love our neighbor’s input.  Please click here to fill out a short survey and give us your feedback on the design.

Here’s the latest draft of a landscape design and some examples of what some of the designs could look like. We hope to see your families, friends, and neighbors enjoying a picnic in this beautiful new outdoor space someday soon!
