Give to the Max Day!

Hello, Friends!

This Thursday, November 17th, is Give to the Max Day! As you're deciding how to donate, please remember Friends of Way Park.




With your support, we have been able to make regular to make improvements to the park. We've continued to add elements from the master plan and plant trees with that design in mind, and this summer we expanded the pollinator garden and built the musical plaza. Upcoming projects include updating the playground, designing a memorial healing garden for the south end, and adding more picnic tables, and installing a drinking fountain!

Your support also allows us to host events like Pumpkin Fest, Cocoa Day, and Explore the Outdoors!


It's easy to give! Just go to the Friends of Way Park page on the GiveMN site on November 13, or go now and pre-schedule your donation.

Thank you for your involvement and support!

-The Friends of Way Park Board
