NRPA Launches "Parks Build Community"
Date:6/26/2009

td>The revitalized park will feature new, state-of-the-art playground equipment, a Marvin Gaye Amphitheater, the restoration of Watts Branch stream and 1.6 miles of newly-rebuilt hiker/biker trails.

Working in cooperation with George Mason University and with the non-profit group Washington Parks & People - DC's award-winning grassroots alliance leading community revitalization of Marvin Gaye and other long-forgotten inner-city parks - NRPA will document how this playground and park improve the lives and health of children and adults in its surrounding communities.

"It is an honor for Washington Parks & People, the Marvin Gaye Park communities, and all of DC to be entering this long-term partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association and its vendors and partners in this national demonstration project," says Steve Coleman, Director of Washington Parks & People.

"The park has so much potential," says Tulipane of NRPA. "Through the generosity of our industry partners, we are contributing to the rebirth of this park, and we share the vision of a place where children and family members can gather to connect with each other and improve their health and well-being."

NRPA is supported by members and recreation industry partners dedicated to this effort. Playworld Systems, Kompan, Playcore Inc., and Surface America are among the businesses and suppliers that are working with NRPA and who will generously donate equipment and services valued at more than $200,000 to make the Marvin Gaye Park project possible.
