Community News

Planehaven Park

Planehaven Park broke ground in February and is on track for completion by the end of the month. Funded by the American Rescue Plan Act, the park's redesign—featuring new amenities—was shaped by input from local neighbors. Stay tuned for a grand re-opening event scheduled for early Summer

Paint the Parks

The 6th Paint the Parks project at Capehart Gymnasium was completed on February 25th, thanks to staff and volunteers! Make sure you stop by the gym to check out the freshly painted doors and new design on our basketball backboards. Our next project will take place on March 26th at Strizek Park! In the meantime, be sure to check out our completed projects here!

 If you would like to volunteer, please fill out this Volunteer Form. We are also accepting paint supply donations! Feel free to bring them by the front office before our next project!
