Make it a Million!
Thank you so much for helping the Fund for the Future of Heights Libraries' Make it a Million! campaign with your pledge or donation!
The Coventry PEACE Park has been under construction since June; the site has been gently graded and concrete paths are in place to provide sure footing and easy rolling; the upper play area is now home to the giant Cardinal structure and has been prepared for the slides and zipline, and the lower area is ready for toddler play equipment; the retaining wall is in place beside the basketball half court; the concrete pad is ready for the performance pavilion. Soon, more trees will be planted alongside other plantings and ecological features.
But the New Coventry PEACE Park is more than features and amenities. The Park is the people who build and benefit from it; the people who bring their kids to the playground, shop at a popup market, attend a Library program, enjoy a performance, or just relax and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. It’s the spontaneous conversations that occur, the lifelong friendships, the place where people of all backgrounds can meet and weave our city closer together.
Building the New Coventry PEACE Park is a community project bringing together the citizens, municipal governments, and public library system of two great cities, as well as businesses, nonprofits, houses of worship, artists, actors, musicians, and poets.
To achieve all this, the Fund for the Future of Heights Libraries has helped raised close to $1,000,000. We appreciate your support in our campaign to pass that milestone - and help fund the many new trees and playground equipment planned for the site. Thanks to you, during our Make it a Million! year-end campaign, donations will be matched up to $36,000, until we pass the million dollar milestone. The campaign runs through December 31, 2024, and will ensure the Coventry PEACE Park continues to be a center for rejuvenation for our entire community and beyond.
