Thanks to a grant from Disney, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) is expanding the Meet Me at the Park program and providing additional communities with increased access to play spaces in local parks.  Meet Me at the Park brings the magic of parks and recreation to children and families across the United States.

Applicants must:

  • Provide opportunities for community engagement and volunteerism in association with the project.
  • Promote the project locally through its own communication channels and on social media.
  • Administer surveys and collect data from at least 25 people at the project site once the project is completed.
  • At least four of the selected grantees will be required to conduct a more in-depth evaluation. Tools and training will be provided to selected grantees.
