Lindley Park Neighborhood sits west of downtown Greensboro bordering West Market Street, South Elam Avenue, Oakland Avenue, and South Holden Road. Developed in the 1910s, the neighborhood is full of a broad mix of architectural styles, canopy tree-lined streets, and a diverse residential population.
Lindley Park is situated within the neighborhood and consists of 107 acres upon which two playgrounds, fields, and a large natural area are included. Adjacent to the park is the Greensboro Arboretum. This 17-acre botanical garden includes 14 plant collections, a paved walking trail, special display gardens, a wedding gazebo, a scenic overlook, and more.
Neighbors are known to be involved, proactive, and caring within the community. For example, a local neighbor, Robin Anders, helped secure the 2023 NeighborWoods Community Tree Planting grant, which was designed to preserve and restore the tree canopy in neighborhoods and helped bring 200 native trees to Lindley Park.
