Community Garden
North Campus ~ Beloit, KS 
(need address / street location)
 
Following the closure of the Beloit Correctional Facility, the Kansas legislature donated the grounds and buildings back to the City of Beloit. The Beloit City Council approved a proposal from the Parks and Recreation Director to use a portion of the land for the community garden. The Community Garden Committee was formed to give direction to the project.

​The garden is an allotment garden with a sliding scale for plot fees for individuals or families who can;t afford fees.
The goals of the garden are to utilize the idle land; provide plots for those that do not have an area for gardening; enable individuals with limited incomes to grow their own food; provide a teaching venue from groups such as day care children and special needs audiences; provide excess produce to the local food pantry and senior citizens; and encourage exercise, socialization and production of nutritious food.
