Dear Neighbors,

 

Please support Friends of Woodmont Park in the 2021 Big Payback, May 5th. We are raising funds for a new Woodmont Park project (see below ) and can use your help. Any amount helps, and will be matched in the Big Payback.

 

Woodmont Park Basketball Court Improvement

 

We seek to raise $25,000 to improve the basketball court at Woodmont Park. The current surface has a severe slope from one goal to the other, making full court play very difficult. The surface is old, uneven and rough, with many cracks in the asphalt. The improvement project will do the following:

 

  • Level the surface - this will involve excavation and a new, smooth surface
  • Reorient the court from North to South to East to West
  • Enlarge the surface so that the full court playing area is 75 feet long - this compares to 90 feet regulation size
  • Add two new goals for the full court space
  • Add shorter goals on the side for children play
  • Paint stripes to allow other game uses, such as foursquare



This will make the court much better for basketball and will accommodate multiple uses by kids of all ages. We have received a positive response from Metro Parks for our initial proposal. Our fundraising goal is based on an estimate we received for excavation and resurfacing. We are asking for help in any amount. Every contribution helps.
