Your Money at Work
SEPTEMBER UPDATE: September has a great project for the monthly photo contest: Labyrinth @ Chester-Portsmouth Park, which is a different kind of park amenity designed for walking meditation and stress reduction. It is also a project completed as part of the city's Neighborhood Participation Program, which means this park improvement is something the neighborhood asked to have in the park.
The other project for the month is the future plans for Wright Park. Take photos of the current park and let us know what it will mean to have improvements for this park.
