Our Why
Our mission and values are the guiding principles that serve not only as a compass for our park's development but also as a foundation for fostering a sense of belonging and unity for our community.
We want to ensure that the park becomes a space where people of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and interests can come together, forging connections, promoting well-being, and preserving the unique character of our community for generations to come.
Our Mission
The Northeast Community Park exists to provide a safe, inviting, and open space for our community to gather, grow, and get to know each other.
Our Values
Connection. Neighbors: we’re better together. We need a space for that.
Nature. Fresh air, soft grass, and a place to play make happy, healthy people.
Movement. The less we move, the less we can. The more we do, the flip is true.
Accessibility. No one should be unable to play with family and friends.
Our Vision
We want to improve and move Northeast Springfield from the inside, out. We want to see our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being improve while property values increase. We want to be a vital part of our community.
