About the project
Williamson Park, located in Midtown Memphis, is a beautiful area with the potential to be a great place for local families to spend time outdoors! We are planning to improve the playground at Williamson park and make it a safer environment. To do so, we would like to add swings. We also want to make the park a more well-known place to come and spend time. Our wish is that the park would become a fun, safe place for the community to spend time together!
The Steps
1. Clean up the existing playground equipment.
2. Replace swings.
3. Purchase temporary, lightweight, and removable soccer goals.
4. Spread the word about this great place to come and spend time outdoors with family and friends!
Why we‘re doing it
Each member of our group, which is made up of 3 high school students at Hutchison School, has a different reason that she wants to make the park a better place!
Ruthie just moved in about a block away from the park, and she wants to create a place where she can go to meet her new neighbors and feel involved in her new community.
Katie Elizabeth, who lives about 5 minutes from the park, wants to help out the midtown Memphis community that she has lived in since she was born. She has always had an interest in the community and is very excited to make a change.
Francie, who's house backs up to the park, spent a lot of time playing in the park when she was younger. Since then, the playground structure has been vandalized and the tire swing has been removed. She would like to see the park be as great (or better) than it was when she was younger.
