Dear Village of Pelham Board,
As a resident or business owner in Pelham, I am in support of the Junior League of Pelham’s proposed children’s woodland park at the intersection of Second Street and Wolf’s Lane. Pelham has limited green space, and developing an otherwise underutilized park to create a special place for children and families to convene, enjoy and develop a sense of community is a wonderful opportunity for our town.
The natural-style play space being proposed is very complementary to
the unique character of our downtown. It’s a way for our children to
have the experiences that we did – walking along a fallen tree, climbing
branches and playing hide and go seek among tall grasses and shrubs –
reconnecting with nature and their imaginations.
Community is not created in our backyards. Community is created and enhanced in the common spaces where residents can connect with one another, businesses and with the town in which we live.This park gives residents another reason to come and stay downtown. I am in support of this initiative, as I believe this project will benefit our children, families, businesses and community as a whole.

We need to hit the one hundred signature milestone before we present this proposal to the board. Please send the link to five neighbors who live in the vicinity of Wolf's Lane today.

This would be so great for the kids. My toddler is tired of the same old concrete playgrounds nearby. Really hope this happens!
Looks like a solid plan. Hope they keep the maintenance costs low so the taxes dont go up too much.
YES PLEASE. We need more green space in Pelham. Crossing my fingers that the board listens to us.
Finally! Something besides just more condos. Downtown needs some actual character for families.
Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. For more information on the project, please visit www.wolfslanepark.org. This petition will be sent to the Village of Pelham Trustees on May 6th as a show of community support for this unique opportunity for our downtown area. Funding for the design and development of the park will be raised fully through the Junior League of Pelham.

LOVE the idea! Would love some more information. Like: Where would the funds come from (happy to participate in fundraising)?; Who would maintain the Park? Who are we petitioning? And any other pertinent information. Would love to support this fantastic idea.
