The above house, located at 900 Willowbrook Drive was built in 1952. It is just across the street from Lindley Park, This section of LIndley Park is located just off of Spring Garden Street. In this area, there was formerly an amusement park and Willowbrook Drive and Lindell Road were constructed in 1917, once the amusement park closed. The architect was Earle Sumner Draper.

If you want to learn more about the neighborhood and see a map of the streets within the border of Lindley Park, see HERE. The bulk of the Lindley Park ctivities happen in the Arboretum or the part of Lindley Park on the edge of the Arboretum. However, We think the above area is ripe for a special event. Sunset Hills has the “Running of the Balls” and the actual lighted, wire Christmas balls hurled into the air. We are imagining something similar to a European Christmas market with seasonal treats, twinkling fairy lights, and seasonal music. Grensboro loves family-friendly events and traditions. What would you like to see in your neighborhood?

Happy Friday!
