White Plains’ Park Acknowledged as “Secret Garden”
Bryant- Mamaroneck Park has been selected for “Heart Your Park,” a program introduced as part of Macy’s “Secret Garden” campaign, that aims to raise awareness and dollars for local parks across the country. From March 7 to March 31, customers at the Macy’s -Galleria Store in White Plains can donate $1.00 or more at the register, with 100 percent of the donations benefiting Bryant-Mamaroneck Park. To further spread the love, Macy’s will match the total customer donation across all stores, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000 in total.
Bryant-Mamaroneck Park is one of more than 550 parks nationwide that will benefit from Macy’s “Heart Your Park” this spring. In partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), the national non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of community parks, recreation and conservation, Macy’s stores across the country have each selected a local park or green space in their community to support through the program. Donations will go toward making improvements, such as maintaining trails, playgrounds, and ball fields, and everything in between.
“We are thrilled to partner with Macy’s and NRPA for ‘Heart Your Park’ this spring,” said Wayne Bass, Commissioner of the White Plains Recreation and Parks Department. “Through this wonderful program and donations by Macy’s customers, we are excited about the increased awareness and additional funding for Bryant-Mamaroneck Park. This park is a great asset to the community, and we greatly appreciate Macy’s support.”
Bryant –Mamaroneck Park is White Plains newest park, opening in October 2013. It is an 8.93 acre circular trail-way park located on the corner of Bryant and Mamaroneck Avenues. The half-mile rugged looped trail is open all year from dawn to dusk and is perfect for hiking and exploring nature.
