The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission received a $410,854 federal Project Grant award from the National Park Service's Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916) to renovate Henry Park, a large neighborhood park in Lincoln, Nebraska. The grant will fund the removal and replacement of the existing playground equipment and surfacing with new resilient surfacing and inclusive playground equipment. The project aims to improve recreational access and opportunities in an area identified as having higher than average poverty rates and lower than average access to recreational facilities. The grant has an award date of August 1, 2024 and a targeted completion date of September 30, 2027. The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission will sub-grant the funds to the City of Lincoln to manage the renovation work.
