(Originating Sources: Joseph V. Roszak, Chief Operating Officer/Natalie A. Ronayne, Chief Development Officer/Jim Rodstrom, Director of Construction/Kristen Trolio, Grants Manager/Kelly Coffman, Senior Strategic Park Planner/Chris Cheraso, Landscape Architect) The National Recreation and Park Administration offers funding assistance for green infrastructure projects through the Great Urban Parks Campaign. This program seeks to improve both environmental and social components of urban parks through green infrastructure projects that include substantial community involvement. Cleveland Metroparks has submitted an application to this program for Dunham Park, the Park District’s first managed parkland in the City of Maple Heights. Cleveland Metroparks is committed to improving the amenities in this park and this project will include pavement removal to reduce impervious surfaces, reconfiguration of the existing entrance drive to include an all-purpose trail, and addition of vegetated bioswales and a detention pond. A proposed site plan for this project is on page 46 . This project will also include a significant volunteer component and will engage youth from MyCom, a youth development network that operates throughout Greater Cleveland.

The project costs are as follows:

NRPA : $200,000 Cleveland Metroparks: $ 24,933 Total Project: $224,933
