Park Enhancement Grant Program

Park Enhancement Grant Program – Returns in FY 2012!

The Arlington County Park and Recreation Commission is pleased to announce that the Commission can once again offer Park Enhancement Grants! This competitive program provides grants of up to $15,000 for park projects that are sponsored by county citizens. Grant applications are reviewed and approved by the Park and Recreation Commission and, ultimately, the County Board.

Program Purpose

Enables Arlington citizens to initiate small capital improvement and beautification projects for Arlington's parks and recreation facilities in their neighborhoods;
Encourages community support for public parks; and
Streamlines these improvements to be completed without going through the normal County budget process.

PEG Program Update

Staff received 14 PEG project request letters by the June 30th deadline. A review process for each proposed project is underway and will culminate in November when the Park and Recreation Commission makes their final decision on which applications will receive grant funds. The Park and Recreation Commission will submit the approved PEG projects to the County Board in early 2012 for funding approval. The approved PEG projects will be implemented by county staff in 2012.
