Community Choice Grants democratize the decision-making and funding allocations for future parks and nature spaces. Community members enjoyed interactive, hands-on, accessible design events that utilized play and art as entry points to learning about nurturing culture and access, sharing experiences and priorities, and designing together.

Community Organizers worked with the team to reach priority communities, creating culturally specific gatherings that strengthened community bonds while advocating for community needs.
