BOP AND CITY ANNOUNCE OPPORTUNITY FOR NEIGHBORHOODS TO SELECT NEXT PARK PROJECT
July 9, 2010 - Mayor Kim Bracey announced today that BOP - Bring On Play Committee and the City of York are offering an opportunity for York City neighborhood groups to become involved in selecting the next park to build a new playground.
BOP was formed in 2008 to support positive and healthy play for children and to assist the City in renovating one neighborhood playground each year. BOP completed a community playground build at Lincoln Park in 2009 and has plans underway for the second build at Allen Park on September 10 and 11, 2010.
The City of York and BOP would like neighborhood involvement in selecting the third park to construct a new playground in 2011. An application must be completed and submitted to the City by an interested neighborhood group. Deadline for the applications are September 30, 2010. A copy of the application can be downloaded
HERE or can be obtained by calling the Department of Public Works at 717-849-2245.
Mayor Bracey is in full support of BOP and greatly appreciates the efforts that have been made to bring play to the children of the City. Emmy Sasala chair of the BOP Committee for 2010 said, “BOP is excited to continue to bring play to all areas of the City. Our efforts can only be achieved with the support of the neighborhood in which we are working. Allowing community members to complete this application and voice a desire to improve their local park demonstrates to BOP and the City that the community is ready to make a difference in the lives of its residents. BOP relies on the input, passion, and imagination of the local community members, both young and old, to make that difference. In working so closely with the neighborhood in regards to the planning, design and build of the park, we are able to create a lasting sense of pride in what we were able to accomplish together, which can be shared and enjoyed by people of all ages for years to come.”
For more information call the Department of Public Works at 849-2245.
