Neighborhood
Johnston Square
Johnston Square offers a neighborhood library, community farming and several public green spaces, with distinct addresses and participation arrangements for each.
Find the neighborhood’s green spaces
Johnston Square sits beside Oliver, Oldtown, Greenmount West and the cemetery area. City mapping identifies Johnston Square Park and Ambrose Kennedy Park within the neighborhood. Those names help distinguish a particular green space from the wider neighborhood when following a meeting notice or arranging a place to meet.
Use the branch at Greenmount Avenue
Pratt’s Johnston Square branch is at 1132 Greenmount Avenue. Its page brings together books, technology services and the current program calendar. For arrival, note a useful distinction: the on-site parking lot is private, while the library identifies bicycle parking on Biddle Street. Plan around the public entrance and the actual service you need.
Follow the community farm
The 6th Branch identifies Johnston Square Farm and Garden as one of its three principal growing sites, established in 2019. The organization’s farming and participation information provides a route into volunteering or produce-market updates. Ask about the current activity before entering growing areas or assuming that produce may be picked.
