Park Enhancement Grant Program - FY 2010

The Arlington County Park and Recreation Commission regrets to report that the Park Enhancement Grant (PEG) program has been temporarily suspended, as funds were not included in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 budget, approved by the County Board on April 28, 2009. This funding cut for the upcoming year does not impact projects that were approved for FY2009. Work on those projects will begin in early summer.

The Commission is committed to the PEG Program and remains hopeful it will be reinstated in next year’s budget. We appreciate all the past efforts by communities who have participated in this valuable program and we look forward to offering these grants again in the future.

PRCR staff is currently working on completing the six PEG projects approved in 2009. These projects include the replacement of two drinking fountains, one in Madison Manor Park and one in Clay Park; a new fence around the playground at Eads Park; fence and trail improvements and planting of two trees at Lee Heights Park; a new entrance sign, pollinator garden construction, and trail improvements at Gulf Branch Nature; and construction of a new trail connection between Harrison Street and Custis Trail.

Here are a few examples of what can be accomplished through the PEG program!
