build community. Each year, a park
is chosen in an area of need near

is held. NRPA works with the local
municipalities and industry partners
who donate equipment and
supplies to complete the park. This
private-public partnership works to
create a space that provides a positive
impact for local communities
for years to come.

with the help of the National
Recreation and Park Association,
which chose Orlando for its 10th
Parks Build Community project.
City staff and partners across all
divisions have assisted in bringing
this
renovation
to completion, "
says a City of Orlando spokesperson.
" Generous donors provided
playground equipment, game tables,
outdoor exercise facilities,
musical instruments, lights, picnic
tables, trash cans, a movie screen,
sports equipment and more. These
items will change the lives of nearby
residents of all ages who will
now have access to free opportunities
to get fit and have fun, which
is important for the quality of life
here in [Orlando]. "
