Site Description

Osborne Village Green is an oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Village. The park is nestled between residential buildings along Stradbrook Avenue, offering a place of respite that is currently underutilized. A new protected bike lane runs along the park’s north edge. A paved path along the east side of the park cuts from Stradbrook Avenue to the back lane. The site contains large, mature trees with a dense overhead canopy and a sunny clearing with mildly undulating grassy terrain. The park’s main path is lined with benches, a few planters, and minimal pole lighting. An overgrown, uneven Tyndall limestone pathway provides a secondary access point and meandering route through the trees and across the open clearing.
