The Friends of Mt. Vernon Children’s Park have big news to share! This last winter, we applied for the Johns Hopkins Neighborhood Fund Grant and found out earlier this month that we were one of the recipients! With the grant funds that we will receive, we will be adding new toddler equipment to the park. While we are still working out details of what will be added, work will begin in the next few months, with completion of the work by June of 2017.
A big thank you to all the volunteers who came out this weekend for our spring clean-up event! We cleaned-up the sandbox, spread out fresh mulch, pulled weeds, picked up trash, and pruned the trees and bushes to prepare the park for the spring and summer seasons.
Our next event will be the Spring Planting event, where we will add some new greenery to the park for everyone’s enjoyment. The event will be Saturday, April 16 at 9am. We welcome anyone who would like to participate!
