Paint the Parks

We are excited to start our newest initiative, Paint the Parks! After all the positive feedback from the Community Mural at Karl Rosario Park, we would like to continue to paint our parks! The goal of this project is to invest in our parks, reactivite the parks to provide safe places, foster community pride and deter constant tagging. This initiative will take place in 10 different locations over the next year and we will be painting games, updating our basketball courts, painting trash cans and benches, and so much more! Stay tuned as we will release photos and specific project information here.

If you would like to help out at our parks, please fill out the Volunteer Form.
