About this place

What was once a dim, unused space beneath Beartracks Bridge is now a vibrant underbridge playspace—a creative, welcoming area for people of all ages. The transformation includes art installations by Ann Karp of Sideways Gaze, along with new picnic tables, a basketball hoop, ping pong tables, cornhole boards, and even stylized dumpsters that make waste collection feel like part of the experience.
