The McGolrick Park Neighborhood Alliance (MPNA) will hold a 10:00 AM news conference/celebration on Saturday, October 18, 2014 to present certificates to local officials who have appropriated $1.3 million to build a new playground in the park. Area parents have been pleading for playground renovations in recent years. This incentivized MPNA to campaign for renovation and improvement over the past year. Following the October 18 ceremony, members of MPNA, area residents and officials will plant 1,000 daffodil bulbs in the gardens to improve the park.
