1) Playground fundraising continues with pizza event on April 29
Friends of Patton Square Park has only six weeks left to reach its goal of raising $28,000 for additional interactive play pieces at the N Interstate Avenue park and playground. So far Overlook neighbors and other supporters have given more than $1,600 through the GoFundMe site. In addition, Aprende con Amigos Preschool Academy, Fairfield Residential and the Overlook Neighborhood Association have donated a total of $8,500. Thank you to all those generous donors!
Please join your neighbors in supporting this important project to improve the usability of the playground, especially for children under the age of five. Many more families with young children are moving into the neighborhood, and these much-needed improvements will make the playground a safe and fun space for them.
You can also support the Patton Square Park playground project by eating Pizza on Monday, April 29. Atomic Pizza will donate a portion of sales that day to the playground project. Atomic is open for dine-in and carryout 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. that day. Thank you, Jenna!
If you have a storefront or other suitable public space, please print and post the flyer to help spread the word. Continue reading “Overlook Neighborhood Update (April 21)”
