The Washington Gladden Social Justice Park, on the northeast corner of East Broad Street and Cleveland Avenue, is touted as the first park in the nation dedicated to the theme of social justice. The park is small but includes as "interpretive path, relaxing water feature, and large-scale art project serving as the backdrop of the park." The park's website reads "Over time as the park grows, programs tied to social justice will be launched that will be held at the park and in the community." Dozens of people turned out on a wet gray afternoon to witness the dedication of the park today, Sunday, October 18. https://www.socialjusticepark.org/
