This project is stimulated from Public Achievement which is an international, experienced-based civic education initiative that empowers young people to engage in public work. Focused on the most basic concepts of citizenship, democracy, and public work, Public Achievement draws on the talents and desires of ordinary people to build a better world and to create a different kind of politics.
The Peace Park project was generated from a group of Public Achievement students that want to improve their surrounding community by restoring the Peace Park in Lafayette Colorado.

This has been an ongoing project for 2 years now. I am a girl scout and have been working with parks and rec. to rebuild our only park in our little town. we have bought a new swing set and swings, added lots of trees, shurbs and plants. Fixed benches, added new basketball hoops and some benches, changed the sandbox out to newer sand. We are still planning to add a covered area for the picnic tables, slides, sand toys, a dog park, lighting, a new sign, parking, fixing the court asphalt.

Our entire school (Christian Heritage Academy) during the 2007-2008 school year is planning a school-wide event to go into a local public park and paint, clean, plant trees & we also hope to replace old playground equipment as well. This one day event could potentially involve (Pre-K through 12th grades) 650 students and up to 300 parent volunteers, faculty, staff and school administration.
We are looking forward to creating a cleaner, safe, community park for our surrounding metro area families to use and enjoy.
