This map shows sites of potential community projects. We have taken several different sources of information about vacant publicly owned land, chosen the most accurate information from each and shared them here. This is our commons. We also add few private lots whose owners have volunteered their land for community use.

How big is an acre? Prospect Park is 585 of them and a football field (minus the end zones) is about 1; a Olympic pool is about 1/3 of 1; and a standard brownstone lot (25' x 100') is about 1/18 of one.

Find the lot in your life. Contact the owner. Grow something. We can help.
