City officials are looking to make the former General Pickett Municipal Parking Lot on Green Street into more than just one of the entrances into Polar Park.
They also want to make it a year-round community space that will serve as an entrance to the Canal District as a whole.
The area, which will be known as Pickett Plaza, will include retail opportunities and a water element that will recreate and interpret the historic Blackstone Canal, according to City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr.
He said the water feature will be a way to pay homage to the Blackstone Canal and the important role it played in Worcester’s history.
In November, the city received a $3.5 million MassWorks Infrastructure Program grant to put toward reconstruction and beautification of the former 65-space parking lot at 45 Green St., on the south side of the railroad underpass that leads into the Canal District.
