Mixson Avenue Parks

Mixson Avenue's first public space will be an intimate courtyard on Summey Street at its intersection with McCarthy Street. The courtyard is designed around a 50 year old picturesque Laurel Oak and includes a small bubbling fountain.

This space is designed to be flexible - so it should be perfect whether you are looking for a place to read a book in the shade, have a neighborhood weekend cookout, or anything in between.  The Mixson Avenue neighborhood benefits from a substantial collection of trees of a variety of species. Live oaks, laurel oaks, magnolias, and maples are found scattered throughout the property. Mixson is designed to protect these trees and their natural beauty.

Incredible care has been taken to design the streets for pedestrians, bicyclists, and playing children as well as for cars. Mixson streets are places in their own right: public spaces that support a vibrant community life, and offer safe transport to all.
