History of Friends of Lang-Carson Park
In 2018, a passionate group of neighbors united to forge a vision – to transform Lang-Carson Park into a vibrant community haven for all to enjoy. Two years later, Park Pride awarded the Friends of Lang-Carson Park a $130,000 matching grant to help fund the renovation of the Manigault Street Playlot. In 2022, we completed ‘Phase 2’ of park improvements with the support of our second matching grant from Park Pride and generous contributions from neighbors and friends.
In Spring 2026, we are concluding ‘Phase 3’ of park improvements that include a new playground, skate ramps, and additional seating. Stay tuning for final updates and a date for the Ribbon Cutting.
