The plan for renovating the Hume Springs Park playground at 100 Dale St.
In partnership between RunningBrooke and the City of Alexandria Parks and Recreation Department, the Hume Springs Park playground, located at 100 Dale St. in Arlandria, will be transformed.
Currently a neglected park, it is in a neighborhood filled with the highest percentage of children under the age of five in the city and where more than 80 percent are eligible for free and reduced meals.
With help from Rebuilding Together Alexandria, and the support of Teva Respiratory, The Brickman Group, Simpson Development, The Rotary Club of Alexandria, Rosemont Landscaping and Lawncare, and the Hume Springs Neighborhood Association, the park’s makeover is already underway.
RunningBrooke Volunteer Build Day is Sept. 19 when the community will be out in force to put the final touches on the park makeover. Volunteers will help plant flowers, create a butterfly garden, and build tables and benches. For more information, visit www.runningbrooke.org.
