The Pocket Park is so close to completion. A missing back fence and movie screen has not stopped the neighborhood from taking advantage of the space and enjoying it as it was originally envisioned. But the Pocket Park needs financial and physical support if neighbors want to keep the park as a central place to enjoy neighborhood social events and impromptu celebrations. Here are a few ways to support the park:
- Mowing co-op: Using volunteer help from the neighbors to mow the park saves the neighborhood from having to hire someone. Currently, only a couple of neighbors mow it. The more participants in the co-op, the fewer times each individual will actually have to mow and the better our park will look! If interested in being part of a mowing co-op, please email president@historicmeridianpark.org.
- Liability Insurance ($786 Annually): The neighborhood must maintain liability insurance on the park. Contributions to the pocket park are separate from the neighborhood association. To make a tax-deductible donation to the park, go to the Mapleton-Fall Creek homepage (our fiscal partner) at https://mfcdc.org/. Click the “Donate” button. After choosing your method of payment, in the “Add special instructions to the seller” section, write in “HMP Pocket Park” to ensure the funds are allocated correctly to our account.
