Phase I of the Parks Equity Accelerator wrapped last week with Focus Group conversations that included Parks and Recreation staff and the executive directors from our partner organizations. 

On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of last week, our Director of Programs Megan Gulla visited Carter G. Woodson Academy with Seedleaf Executive Director Christine Smith to talk about our Parks Equity Accelerator Program!

We’re happy to announce a new program! CivicLex is partnering with LFUCG‘s Divisions of Planning and Parks and Recreation, Seedleaf, and a number of community organizations on The Lexington Park Equity Accelerator! The project, funded by the Trust For Public Land, seeks to increase access to parks and public space and urban greenspace in Lexington through public policy.
