About this organization
Mission
Washington Parks & People grows city-wide park-based community health and vitality by nurturing innovation and partnerships. The organization began in 1990 as Friends Of Meridian Hill -- a community partnership to reclaim D.C.'s most violent park. Today crime in that park is down over 99% and Meridian Hill is just one part of a broad grassroots alliance. WPP works to leverage the capital's two greatest but most forgotten assets -- its vast network of public lands and its strong communities-- to advance the entire region. WPP's goal is to make parks across Washington DC into safe, healthy, year-round centers of environment, education, economic investment, workforce development, agriculture, arts, culture, and community as they were meant to be-- vibrant village greens for all.
