Paint the Parks

We’re heading into our second year of Paint the Parks, and we’re excited to return to our neighborhood parks with even more color, creativity, and community fun! Building on the success of last year’s vibrant projects we’re going back to add new games, interactive chalk features, and playful upgrades.

This initiative is about more than just paint—it's a commitment to transforming our parks into safe, welcoming spaces that inspire pride, discourage vandalism, and bring neighbors together. From painted hopscotch and four square to colorful benches, and decorated trash cans, we’re just getting started!

Follow along for updates, photos, and ways to get involved. Let’s make year two even brighter!
