Piedmont Park Project: The story of a community dedicated to realizing the dream of a fantastic park for everyone, "Where Community Becomes Family".
The Piedmont Park Project was a volunteer nonprofit 501(c)3 organization raising funds for and coordinating the building of Piedmont Community Park in Piedmont, Oklahoma from 2014 to 2018. Its core of volunteer leaders rallied the community to come together in many capacities to make Piedmont Community Park a reality.
Piedmont Community Park officially opened to public use in March 2018. It offers a spectacular 12,000 sq. ft. playground designed by the children of the community, volleyball and basketball courts, a large covered pavilion, full service restrooms, and a custom splash pad telling the history of the town through water play. The story of the playground is extremely special to the community. In April 2017, 1800+ individuals including parents, families, and other volunteers from all over the surrounding area erected the playground as a massive community project, one unlike the town of roughly 7,000 has ever seen!
PPP Mission Statement:
To create a centralized community-gathering place to foster families and friends, to hold retreats and festivals, and to encourage more retail/commercial growth in Piedmont..
