Park Development
This acquisition project was successfully nominated by Greenwood citizens
through the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund process. As Friends of Greenwood
Park noted: "Criteria included in the levy focused the Opportunity Fund
in areas that were underserved by parks, and areas experiencing increased
growth, particularly in urban villages and Neighborhood Revitalization areas
such as Greenwood."

| COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION |
|
The community first proposed the Greenwood site for a
neighborhood park in 1954! In 1999, property was acquired for the new
park, and in August 2003 the new park opened for public use.
This Opportunity Fund acquisition project acquired additional property
to expand the park.
