Seed the Future of the Rail Park through our End of Year Campaign

Over Thanksgiving weekend, a fire broke out at the Rail Park, causing significant damage to one of our beloved platforms. The structure has been compromised, and the repairs will be both extensive and costly. We estimate needing at least $8,000 to stabilize and repair the decking. This unexpected challenge makes your support more critical than ever as we work to restore and sustain this cherished space.

Despite this setback, there is still much to celebrate. Over the past year, Friends of the Rail Park has activated and stewarded Phase One with programming, growing meaningful relationships with community members and park goers, learning from experts in the field, and taking steps toward expanding the park. It’s been a full year and none of this would be possible without your support.

But there’s more to be done! This year’s End of Year Campaign invites you to seed the future by contributing to our $10,000 goal by December 31st. Your contribution will enable us to repair the damaged Phase One platform and continue to cultivate the future of our 3-mile vision.
