Future Plans

  • Shade canopies near swim pond

  • Mature tree planting near pond & playground

  • Sapling tree planting for future generations (volunteers needed!)

  • General landscaping & pollinator meadows

  • Walking path - border loop with bonus railroad spur

  • All-age fitness & play stations along path

  • Improved parking & accessibility

The SPARC Park Playground was only the first step.

To improve our facilities for all residents, planned park improvements will be funded through private donations and grants, with no increase in local taxes and no tax dollars spent. Every gift makes a difference!

Past Success

Powered by community support, resident donations and hundreds of volunteers, the Stanford Recreation Campaign stewarded the full rebuild of the SPARC Park Playground (2023-2024). Stanford residents have created one of the premier playgrounds in Dutchess County - a true example of what collective effort can achieve.

Now we’re ready to re-ignite the vision and take the next steps!
