If you have completed a report card for your neigborhood park, email it to MeekerKK@muni.org, or drop it off at any parks recreation facility. Don’t forget to note the fix its!
This fall, the Anchorage Park Foundation and the Parks & Recreation Department are compiling a Neighborhood Park Report Card and asking the community to tell us how your park looks, feels and what part it plays in your community. Are the benches clean and safe? Are the lawns green? Do you feel safe and secure?
You’ll also fill out a “Fix It List” for your neighborhood park. Is a swing broken on the play set? Are the signs falling down? Let us know, and sign up to participate in a Clean & Green Volunteer Day and work with Park staff to repair what’s broken and clean up your parks.
