FRIENDS OF VOLTA PARK
Visit Our Brick Garden Paths
The Friends of Volta Park is deeply grateful for the Georgetown community that rallied around the park to help with fundraising during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unable to hold events due to pandemic-related health and safety concerns, the park lost our main avenue for fundraising. Fortunately, friends, neighbors and parkgoers came together to support our brick fundraising program, providing the park with a source of incoming funds during a very trying time.
The community embraced this program, and, as part of our landscaping design, we now have an array of beautiful bricks donated by neighbors that not only make the paths more beautiful, but also make traversing the gardens safer for little ones who were previously inclined to stumble on the large stones that preceded the evenly spaced bricks.
While we are still installing many of the bricks, we encourage you to visit these new garden paths to look for the name of a favorite dog who frequents the park, a neighbor, a friend or a local school. Or walk the paths in search of the “wishing brick” that just might make your wish come true. Find the brick that promises to bring you good luck if you hop on one foot. Or pause at the brick that encourages you to reflect on all of the things for which you are grateful. Volta Park is certainly grateful to be set in the midst of such a caring community.
