Grant's Block Park, located at the corner of Westminster and Union Streets, has reopened with a fresh new look. Completed in May 2024, the revamped park features a 1,730 square-foot dog park, new cedar seating, beautifully landscaped beds with nine new trees and flowering perennials, and enhanced lighting throughout. Designed by Cornish Associates, Ryan Associates, and Union Studio Architects, with Landscape Creations handling the build, the park is a welcoming addition to the Westminster Street Corridor.

This right here is the most recent addition to the evolving landscape on Westminster St. The four-story addition to the Trayne building just welcomed longlivebeergarden for the 2021 season. It’s quite a lovely scene watching them transform the space into a vibrant outdoor gathering every Fri-Sun while the weather permits. Cheers to almost summer! 🍻
Mock-ups, just mock-ups in the rain….

Consistently delicious, oberlin_pvd never disappoints! Perfect spot to just sit at the bar for a few small plates on a summer night. Looking forward to doing it again, because their Chitarra Cacio e Pepe has my heart ❤️❤️❤️. Also, Oberlin was just named to eater`s "Essential New England Restaurants", well deserved!
