Description
The GROW Together 5K is a community-driven run and walk fundraiser supporting the restoration and revitalization of our nature playground at Two Rivers Park. Hosted by GROW Enrichment, this event brings together families, neighbors, and supporters who believe in the power of public land to educate, nourish, and connect.
All proceeds from the 5K will go directly toward rebuilding our natural playscape—an inviting space surrounded by edible vegetation that reflects our commitment to sustainable land use and permaculture education. Whether you are a seasoned runner or simply enjoy a morning stroll through nature, your participation helps us grow something meaningful for the next generation.
Join us as we move with purpose, build community, and invest in a healthier future for both people and the planet.
Why This Fundraiser Matters: Rebuilding the Nature Playground
The GROW Together 5K is more than just a run — it’s a step toward revitalizing a beloved space in our community. Proceeds from this event will directly support the rebuild of the nature playground at Two Rivers Park, a project rooted in our mission of connecting people to nature through education, restoration, and play.
This unique playground once offered children the opportunity to explore natural elements like sand, wood, and edible plants. Due to safety concerns from aging materials, the original structure had to be removed. Now, we’re working to bring it back — better than ever — with a focus on natural, sustainable materials, edible landscaping, and tactile sensory features that invite curiosity and connection to the land.
