Lafayette Park is one of the finest assets of our wonderful neighborhood, and the Friends of Lafayette Park (FOLP) is an organization of neighbors dedicated to preserving and improving the park. In our first eight years we have implemented the addition of gardens, playgrounds, the tot lot, amphitheater, gazebo, upgraded tennis courts and ball fields, benches and much more. In the future we hope to add such improvements as a running track, better lighting, and a new rec center. Please join your neighbors as we maintain these improvements and add more. You can help by giving us your thoughts and ideas for the park, attending our spring and fall clean-up days and contributing funds to our effort.
