But Parc Noë l-Nord is more than just basketballs and games. The park boasts a community garden. Twenty-five plots of land provide a space for local residents to grow their own vegetables. Two of the plots are accessible. They are designed for people with disabilities ensuring everyone can enjoy the bounty. This initiative isn’t just about food. It builds community fosters connection and brings neighbours together.
