Adventurers Wanted! A Wooded Piece of Uptown Kingston's Lost Park
Tucked into the woods along an unbuilt stretch of Klingberg Avenue, this small wooded parcel is a rare remnant of Lawton Park, a City of Kingston park for roughly thirty years that has sat quietly undeveloped ever since. Today the land is back in private hands, offering a buyer the chance to own a piece of that history within close proximity of Uptown's Stockade District, with its bluestone sidewalks, cafes, galleries, and 17th- and 18th-century stone architecture.
A Story Worth Owning Lawton Park's history as a public green space gives this parcel a character few land listings can claim. It sits among the wooded, undeveloped acreage that made up the former park, in a neighborhood consistently named one of Kingston's most desirable for its rail trails, arts scene, and historic charm.
Zoning & Land Use The parcel is zoned T2 Conservation under the City of Kingston's form-based zoning code, the district applied across the former Lawton Park's greenfield land. This is a conservation-oriented designation, and prospective buyers should independently confirm current permitted uses, dimensional standards, and any applicable overlay requirements with the City of Kingston before making assumptions about buildability.
Access & Utilities 64 Klingberg sits on the paper street portion of Klingberg Avenue -- meaning the street is mapped but was never physically constructed. The parcel is raw, wooded land with no utilities and no built road access currently in place. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence on legal access, potential easements, and the process for petitioning the City regarding a paper street before proceeding.
At just over a tenth of an acre, this may be suited to an adventurous buyer thinking in terms of homesteading, banking, a conservation buffer, or future assemblage with adjacent Lawton Park parcels. Its combination of history, Uptown proximity, and conservation zoning makes it a distinctive addition to a larger green-space vision.
Buyers are advised to independently verify zoning, access, and utility information with the City of Kingston prior to purchase. Contact for price and additional details. A Wooded Piece of Uptown Kingston's Lost Park
