Parks and Recreation Department Neighborhood Parks Enhancement Program

The City of Phoenix is thrilled to announce the Neighborhood Parks Enhancement Program, funded by the recently approved General Obligation (GO) Bond Program. A total of $1.5 million has been allocated for minor capital improvement projects to enhance local neighborhood parks. This will create more opportunities for the community to enjoy outdoor spaces.

From September 27 to November 8, 2024, eligible neighborhood organizations can submit project proposals at phoenix.gov/parks. Projects must be located in City of Phoenix parks, and organizations not yet registered can do so online at https://www.phoenix.gov/nsd/programs/neighborhood-coordination. Selected projects will be announced in early 2025, with completion scheduled within the GO Bond Program timeframe from 2024 to 2029.
