Park Pride will lead Four Corners Park redesign with $9.4M grant
Several hundred neighbors celebrated the Peoplestown project on October 24 with a look at the design and performances from local students.
Park Pride says Four Corners Park has long been an important gathering space despite decades of underinvestment. In 2023, the Friends of Peoplestown Parks worked with Park Pride's designers on a new plan for the park.
Park Pride awarded a grant in 2025, and the Bezos Earth Fund awarded Park Pride $9.4M to lead the redesign and construction.
On Saturday, October 24, several hundred neighbors celebrated with a food truck, face painting, a look at the design and performances from the Carver High School Marching Band and the Barack & Michelle Obama Academy Chorus and Dance Team.
