To serve the new population of children, for instance, neighborhood leaders and activists demanded a park. Boeddeker Park, named for the founder of St. Anthony's Dining Room, opened in 1985, but competition for its use soon made it a center of controversy.

	Neighborhood arts and cultural organizations also took root and flourished. Arts programs based at the Cadillac Hotel and especially at Hospitality House nurtured major artistic talents and provided venues where their work could reach a wider public. Two theater groups sprang up in the neighborhood, producing plays with neighborhood actors, and attracting city-wide audiences; one, the Exit Theater, continues today. The 509 Cultural Center was born as a performance space for local musicians and a meeting and gathering place where neighborhood residents could share artistic and political ideas and visions. Murals were painted on public walls around the neighborhood.		Neighborhood arts and cultural organizations also took root and flourished.
