ORLANDO, Fla., March 30, 2018 – The National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is collaborating with The Walt Disney Company — including Disney|ABC Television Group and ESPN — to help fund a local park improvement project in Orlando through the annual “Meet Me at the Park” Earth Month campaign. Through this campaign, one of three local city parks will receive a $20,000 grant based on Orlando residents’ votes between April 1 and April 30
The projects to choose from are:
- Ivey Lane Fitness Area – Installing fitness equipment in Ivey Lane Park will offer healthy, no-cost opportunities to be active outdoors in this community.
- Engelwood Neighborhood Center Adjustable Basketball Goals – Installing six basketball goals that adjust to any height between four feet and 10 feet will allow young children and people with disabilities to participate in the sport of basketball as well as older teens and adults.
- Hankins Park Orchard – Planting a fruit tree orchard in the park will provide increased access to fresh produce and let children in recreation programs discover the joys of working with nature and reaping the results.
“Parks and neighborhood centers are part of our continued commitment to providing a diverse array of amenities and enhancing the lives of residents and encouraging them to enjoy the outdoors,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “This is one more way we are working with residents to make Orlando a city for everyone while increasing quality of life.”
