At the end of 2023 we applied for Park Activation grant funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and were awarded $8,000 to put on events in the park for the community.
Our first event is quickly approaching on Saturday, June 1st, from 11AM-3PM. This event is an opportunity to get our residents outside and enjoy the park as a community. Events like this help remind residents how valuable our parks are, highlight areas in the park that need our attention and advocacy, and displace undesirable loitering and other anti-social activities which we don’t want in our parks.
Free activities will include:
Ribbon cutting for new WalkPHX path at 12PM featuring Vice Mayor and District 3 Councilwoman Debra Stark
Make & Take family art activity to enjoy art in the park, with the bonus goal of developing ideas for a future mural in the park.
Bounce House Obstacle Course
Bounce House Waterslide
Water Balloon Toss
Basketball Challenges (free throw contest, 3-point contest, etc.)
Sidewalk Chalk art activity
Event tables from City of Phoenix Parks Department, Neighborhood Services, PHX Cares, and more
We will also have a food truck from 12PM-2PM, so feel free to stop by to support this local business and eat lunch with us even if you don’t stay for the other activities.
