Mission

We want Couch Park and its surrounding neighborhood to be a safe place for children. If we make it safe for kids, then we make it safe for everyone.

Goals:

• Activate the park with holiday and family-friendly activities (for example, singing, storytime, nature crafts, yoga)

• Conduct weekly foot patrols: walk in pairs, report problems, and serve as a visible Friends of Couch Park presence in the park

• Offer at least one concert in conjunction with Summer Free for All program

• Collaborate with SOLV/NW Hostel/Adopt One Block to conduct regular trash pickups around Couch Park

• Offer volunteer activities, like garden plantings, in conjunction with Parks and Recreation
