Lindley Park, a residential neighborhood centered around a public park, renews and invigorates its 1917 origins in the 21st Century. As a neighborhood built on tradition, Lindley Park strives to continue its appeal as a mostly owner-occupied neighborhood with neighborhood schools, churches, and businesses.The neighborhood’s character is a tranquil, safe, and pedestrian friendly, with canopy tree-lined streets, green spaces, and a broad mix of architectural styles is maintained. Its character as a vibrant urban locale is enhanced through careful consideration of new land use patterns, eye-appealing streetscapes, and state of the art physical infrastructure, including architectural lighting and underground utilities. The traditions of Lindley Park and the concerns of its diverse residential population are supported and are knit together through an active, open neighborhood association.The area was named after local businessman John Van Lindley, a Quaker whose business interests ranged from nurseries to sewer pipes to insurance and peach growing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1902, he donated 60 acres of land along Spring Garden Street for a recreation complex boasting a man-made lake and amusement park. Today, this area still exists as the park between Spring Garden Street and Walker Avenue and the City’s Arboretum.When the lake and amusement park closed in 1917, the City hired Earle Sumner Draper to design a planned neighborhood development and what followed was the Lindley Park neighborhood. Many original design elements still remain, such as the stone column entryways and tree-lined streets.
