Sojourner Truth Park is a 3.80-acre neighborhood park located at 7365 Gloria Drive in Council District 7.
The Sojourner Truth Park Community Garden Project (L19161500) consists of demolition, asphalt paving, drainage, raised planters, fencing, picnic area, storage shed and irrigation. There are four trees which conflict with the community garden improvements that have to be removed. The four trees include the removal of two Chinese Lantern trees (Koelreuteria panniculata), one is 7.3" diameter breast height (DBH) one is 8.2" DBH. There are also two London Plane Trees (Plantanus X acerfolia), one is 9.5" DBH and the other one is 8.5" DBH. The project includes planting four new Chinese Pistache trees (Pistachia chinensis) to mitigate the removed of four existing trees.
