FOR THE PASADENA POCKET PARK PROJECT 

What: Orion Township holds groundbreaking ceremony for the newest pocket park,  located at the corner or Pasadena and Baldwin Roads. 

Who: The public is invited and encouraged to attend this event. 

When: Monday, August 7, 2023

Parking is available along Pasadena Road 

Why: Orion Township Supervisor Chris Barnett and Township Trustees are excited to  extend this invitation to the community so we may celebrate the  

groundbreaking of the latest addition to the community, the Pasadena  Pocket Park. 

Earlier this year, the Township was awarded a $25,000 grant from CN, in  partnership with America in Bloom, through their ExoConnexions From the  Ground Up program. This program was established to provide matching grant  funding to green communities where CN operates.  

The Township is using this grant funding for the creation of another beautiful  pocket park along the Baldwin corridor. This space will be transformed into a  passive pocket park, featuring a pathway, benches, plants, and trees, as well  as feature historical information about Gingellville Village.
