Beginning in March 2007, the Mordecai Parks Committee in conjunction with our
CAC has been working with the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation
department to plan and renovate the long outdated Mordecai Mini Park.
This small neighborhood park is located at the corner of Blount and Poplar Streets,
adjacent to Hope Elementary School. Extensive renovations have been undertaken, including
the construction of a new toddler play area, new sidewalks, entry
area, and fencing, new picnic decks and tables, and new GameTime play
equipment. Some old equipment has been refurbished, and the park has
been graded and finished with new sand, mulch, and retaining walls.
This work is near completion,
and after our community volunteer day in April the park will be
finished and ready for our neighborhood children to enjoy.
Our community has been very fortunate to have the
expertise of Shawsheen Baker, landscape architect, and Cindy
Trumbower, volunteer services director. | Links: Raleigh Parks and Recreation GameTime The leading commercial playground equipment manufacturer of playgrounds, swings, slides and sports products for parks, schools, and childcare. |
