Our Journey

Parks & People and Rebuild Johnston Square have built a strong, steadfast partnership and together we have been able to work on many exciting park projects such as Henrietta Lacks Educational Park PHI, Rev. William Brown Park, Greenmount Park Interim Field. We are also looking forward to all of our projects lined up for the future including Henrietta Lacks PHII and the Greenmount Park master plan. 

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
