The Akron Parks Challenge invites neighborhood residents, leaders and organizations alike to pitch their vision for how to improve their favorite Akron park. Selected applications will receive $150,000 in park improvements and APC’s support in engaging the rest of their neighborhood to develop their design, implementation and upkeep.
Registration was the first step, which closed on March 22nd. All that registered will be contacted by APC to coordinate with others who registered for the same park. We will work with each group to schedule a time to gather for an APC moderated session between March 24 and 28. These sessions will provide an opportunity to better understand the application questions and to workshop a joint application with guidance from an APC representative. Questions can be directed to Ariana Wilin at [email protected].
