Join Columbus Gives Back for a beautification project with Weinland Park!  We will gather at the shelter house behind the elementary school to distribute supplies and tasks.  We will then work our way around the park to prepare the grounds for spring bulbs to be planted.   Come dressed to get a bit dirty.  

UPDATE:  We raised enough funds at our happy hour to purchase bulbs for this event!  Horray and THANK YOU! Also, I know that 5:30 is a bit tough for us working folks, so feel free to come when you can. 

Where: Weinland Park, 211 East 7th Ave.  Columbus, OH 43201

Meeting place: Shelter House behind the elementary school

Event Leader:  Juliana at juliana@columbusgivesback.org 

After the event:  We'll see what everyone wants to do after the event, but I (Juliana) thought it might be fun to try out Oldfield's and support a local business!

About Weinland Park: Weinland Park began more than 90 years ago to serve people who took streetcars to jobs downtown or who worked in the manufacturing industries along the railroad lines that mark the eastern boundary of our neighborhood.

Like most urban neighborhoods, Weinland Park has lost jobs and population in the last 40 years, but major public and private investments in the last decade and new commitments for home renovation and new construction over the next few years showcase community renewal and the evolution of a stable, mixed-income neighborhood.

 At the center of our neighborhood are several acres of greenspace, Weinland Park, named for Edgar Weinland, a popular reform city councilman in the 1920s. Flanking the park are the new Weinland Park Elementary School and the new Schoenbaum Family Center, Ohio State’s innovative early childhood education laboratory.
