While there are several large community parks on (Willard Park) and nearby (Christian Park, Highland Park, Brookside & Spades Parks) the corridor, it is important to include a variety of open spaces into revitalization efforts. From rooftop gardens and stormwater prairies to courtyard plazas and outdoor dining areas, these open spaces promote civic life and carry out important ecological functions.

The East Washington Street Partnership is a collaborative effort to foster sustainable economic development and revitalization along one of Indianapolis's most important commercial and industrial corridors.
Currently staffed by Englewood Community Development Corporation, in partnership with Near East Area Renewal, and Southeast Neighborhood Development
Efforts of the Partnership seek to partner economic revitalization with neighborhood revitalization in a manner that encourages residential and employment growth, improves property values and the local tax base, improves ecological quality, and promotes the transformation of a long-neglected corridor into a vibrant, mixed-use urban address.
