To improve the Washington walk, we want to reprint our brochure, create a newsletter, prepare a press releas and conduct a park cleanup day.

The Washington Walk is not adequately maintained and is in need of community participation. With the formation of a Friends of Washington Walk, we will be able to remind the residents of the value of the park. The target audience are the youth (13- 25 years old) and Adults who frequent the park. There are two areas which are highly used, the playground near Sedgwick Avenue and the Kiddie playground near Strong Street. Both areas are frequently occupied.

There are several schools nearby which utilize the playgrounds for recreation.  In addition, the youth use the basketball courts afterschool and on weekends. A major issue is the lack of a comfort station in the playground on Sedgewick Avenue. Over two hundred residents have signed petitions to have a comfort station in the park. We reached out to the local Community Board and the Parks Department to request a bathroom in the Sedgewick Ave playground. 

We want to use our brochure to publicize our Friends of the Park group and as a survey to get feedback from the community on their ideas for park usage.
