The MacNaughton Park, 3047 Hampton Dr. has been selected as one of five projects in the 2021 Niagara Perk Your Park Contest from Niagara Bottling in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).
The Perk Your Park Contest is part of the Niagara Perk Your Park Project, an initiative that focuses on park and community space revitalization across the country. To encourage public engagement with these new spaces, improvements will include things like community gardens, updated playgrounds, new trail amenities, and other ways communities can connect with nature and the outdoors. After funding four projects in 2021, Niagara is giving communities a chance to cast their votes for which projects receive funding next.
Missouri City has a chance to win a $90,000 upgrade to help us create an inclusive public dock along MacNaughton’s current trail system that provides equitable access to a local lake, as well as recreational activities like fishing and wildlife viewing.
The contest runs from today, Sept. 1 through Sept. 29, with the two winning park projects receiving a renovation worth $90,000. You can vote for MacNaughton Park once per day during the contest.
