Grow a Park, Grow a Community and Connect People
ABOUT Saginaw Green
Green spaces do more than soften the concrete urban landscape, but also provide places to congregate, commune, and grow. Downtown Pontiac’s first urban green space built in many years promises to support the communities growing resident and business population.
