The significant public space in this district is West Pines Park. Found along the east side of Armenia Avenue, is a very large field, used infrequently. It has a playground and areas for baseball and basketball, but no field house or large shade trees. Broken glass was observed on the asphalt paved basketball court. There is a strong sense of pride in those living and working in this area.
Many residents are the original owners of their homes.
This district is not cohesive. It is broken up by the high traffic arterial routes. There is a mixed-use nature evident in the integration of factories, small grocery, and residential, but the buildings have not been maintained. A consistent roadway landscape plan is needed. The tobacco factories need to be rehabilitated.
