Hell's Kitchen JUAN ALONSO COMMUNITY GARDEN & PARKS JUAN ALONSO COMMUNITY GARDEN is dedicated to the memory of Juan Alonso, a long time resident and devoted community gardener, who spent countless hours working in this garden. In 1993, at 565 West 52nd St., a vacant lot full of debris was transformed into a community garden by the work of many volunteers from the Clinton/Hell's Kitchen community. The garden was closed in 2000 to allow for renovation of the adjacent affordable housing development. The Juan Alonso Community Garden has been developed and maintained by Clinton Housing Development Company & the 11th Avenue Tenants Housing Development Fund Corp. All Key Park are accessed using the same HKNY Park KEY KEYS are available from Manhattan Community Board 4 for $4 Call (212) 736-4536 to arrange a time to pick up a key from 424 W33rd St., Ste. 580 Visit elintonhousing.org or 213.967.1644 for more information Submitted by @lampbane
