Park Projects

Adding new parks and improving existing parks is at the core of what we do. To help select projects that are most in need of support, we have developed a Project Selection Criteria that considers everything from access to green space, to community interest and involvement. Our goal is to ensure every resident, in every neighborhood, has access to a high quality park.
