Greensboro Parks and Recreation Annual Report 2020-2021

Moments That Made Our Year

Uplifting Our Community The national despair over racial injustice underscored one of the most important things we do: Connect communities with a vibrant, healthy, and equitable park system. We do that every day – and this year we got a little help.

We started the $1.2 million Peeler Community Park renovation project. It will be funded by bond dollars and the first ever Land and Water Conservation Fund Outdoor Recreation Partnership. The $600,000 grant is meant to assist underserved and economically disadvantaged communities. We also introduced the Discover Your Park scavenger hunt in minority-majority neighborhoods. It was funded by a $1,500 NC Recreation and Park Association Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Grant. There’s more to do. Your Parks and Recreation Department is ready to do it.
