of Baltimore's ABC Park By Suzanne Nathan E ach year since 2008, the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) organizes a complete park makeover in partnership with a local park agency, park equipment manufacturers and community organizations within the city hosting the NRPA Annual Conference. This annual project, Parks Build Community (PBC), represents the transformative power of parks in communities and how they address NRPA's three pillars - Conservation, Health and Wellness and Social Equity. PBC projects have included the restoration of existing parks, as well as building new parks completely from scratch. Selecting the location for the PBC project can be an exciting process, and this year was no exception. W W W. PA R K S A N D R E C R E AT I O N . O R G | M A R C H 2 0 1 9 | Parks & Recreation 57
