We are the Friends of Lang-Carson Park.
Together, we make our vision for Lang-Carson Park a reality.
In 2018, a passionate group of neighbors united to forge a vision – to transform Lang-Carson Park into a vibrant community haven for all to enjoy. Two years later, Park Pride awarded the Friends of Lang-Carson Park a $130,000 matching grant to help fund the renovation of the Manigault Street Playlot. In 2022, we completed ‘Phase 2’ of park improvements with the support of our second matching grant from Park Pride and generous contributions from neighbors and friends. View the Lang-Carson History and Lang-Carson Park Timeline to learn more about our park prior to 2018.
Today, we are actively raising funds for Phase 3: Playstructures.
Thank you for making our park improvements possible. All donations are 100% tax deductible.
Select ‘Lang-Carson Park’ from the dropdown menu on Park Pride’s website.
Gifts of $250+ are recognized with an engraved message ($250 = brick; $1,500 = plaque; $10,000 = bench).
