Ready to Rock at the...ROCK LOT!

Ready to Rock at the...ROCK LOT!

After months of planning and construction, The Rock Lot opened on August 30th, 2017. The space is the first implementation of the Vacant to Vibrant project, which seeks to remake vacant lots in the Creative District. The Rock Lot is located at 305 W. 8th St. and was previously a vacant lot filled with large rocks, which is how it got its name. It features a grass lawn and outdoor seating for community events. The space will be open to the public every day from dawn until dusk
