Malvern Plaza is located at the corner of E.
Malvern Street and E. Arroyo Chico, in the Broadmoor-Broadway Village
Neighborhood. This little pocket park was built in 2008, thanks to the vision,
perseverance, talent, and fund-raising efforts of many BBVN neighbors.
The City of Tucson and the University of Arizona, as well as local
non-profit organizations, also played important collaborative roles in the
creation of this park.
Utilizing water harvesting techniques and
donated native shade trees, Malvern Plaza has become a well-used community
gathering place. Three beautifully tiled picnic tables and an unique Little
Free Library, all designed, created, and maintained by neighbors, round out
this comfortable public space. The plaza is a favorite site for neighborhood
events, such as craft fairs, swap meets, citrus give-away's, plant and seed
exchanges, children's play dates, outdoor movies, and neighborhood potlucks.
Most events are detailed in the BBVNA website calendar and promoted on
our Nextdoor social media site and listserv. Click on the photo for more pictures. |
