This donation will directly support our mission to make Couch Park and its surrounding neighborhood to be a safe place for children. If we make it safe for kids, then we make it safe for everyone.
We'll be able to:
- Activate the park with holiday and family-friendly activities (for example, singing, storytime, nature crafts, yoga)
- Continue to expand participation in our weekly foot patrols: walk in pairs, report problems, and serve as a visible Friends of Couch Park presence in the park
- Offer at least one music concert in Couch Park in conjunction with Summer Free for All program
- Collaborate with SOLV/NW Hostel/Adopt One Block to conduct regular trash pickups around Couch Park
- Offer volunteer activities, like garden plantings, in conjunction with Portland Parks & Recreation
