Volunteers Transform Empty Lots into Lush Green Space Volunteers from the Cleveland Clinic joined high school students from Cleveland and East Cleveland earlier this month to create “pocket parks” along Cedar Road near the Clinic. The three sites had been used as parking lots for construction crews working on Clinic building projects and for storing construction equipment. The lots were no longer in use, so the Clinic offered them to be used as public parks. The volunteers, including residents of the Fairfax neighborhood, planted shrubs, trees and flower beds, transforming dusty, gravel lots into lushly blooming lots. The beautification project was part of the 2017 Cleveland Clinic Louis Stokes Scholars program for high school students. Dozens of students participated.
