But that work was funded because of the tremendous organizing that happened in our neighborhood to ensure that we are putting our resources and eyes on the park and i thank the rec and Park Commission staff for working so closely with our District Residents to ensure that were not only improving our parks but also activating them so people feel safe utilizing them.
