The project extends along the south side of Lincoln Avenue from Tremain Street to Unser Street, a distance of approximately 3/4 mile.

The project was funded by an FDOT Enhancement Grant and was completed in 2014.

Completed February 2012


Named after a community leader, Ruthie Watson Park is an open, passive space located at the southwest corner of Grandview Street and Lincoln Avenue. The park provides a centrally located community park and serves as a portion of the proposed Lincoln Avenue Trail, built in 2014.

The park acts as a gathering place to play checkers or take a stroll along the paved walkway which will feature pedestals honoring civic, religious, and other citizens who played a key role in the history of the neighborhood. The park also includes a bus shelter for Lake Xpress patrons, a drinking fountain, and restrooms.
