Registration is now open for our 2022 Parks as Democracy? Luncheon and Conference, December 9 and 10. The event is virtual and will run from noon to 2pm. To register for one or both days, click here: 2022 PAD? Registration.

This year, we are commemorating the 200th birthday of Frederick Law Olmsted and the 100th anniversary of Washington Park’s Fountain of Time.
Here's a sneak preview of what to expect! Click here for program details and schedule.

• We will hear from FOTP Board Chair Bronwyn Nichols Lodato and Executive Director Juanita Irizarry about the importance of holding space for conversations--including honest and legitimate disagreements--about what it means for parks to be democratic spaces.
• We will be honoring the Washington Park Camera Club with our "Olmsted Award" and announcing the winners of our Volunteers-in-Parks Awards. Click here for a sneak peak of our awardees!
• We will be inspired by parktivists who are tackling hot button issues in their parks.
• And we will have conversations about issues that FOTP, PACs, and park partners may want to lift up as part of candidate questionnaires for the upcoming municipal elections.

Amidst such a busy year and continuing uncertainty around COVID-19 and other health concerns, we’ve decided to offer the luncheon and conference in virtual format yet again this year.  So, yes, we’re having a luncheon with no lunch, and the event is FREE. But your voluntary $75 contribution will help defray our costs.
