Think Outside and Show Your LOVE for Parks

 

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace…”

                              – Elizabeth Barrett Browning

This Valentine’s Day, show your love for parks!

Write us a letter, sing us a song..

Tell us all about a park you love. How did you fall in love?
How do you show your love for a park?
And how does a park help you show your love?

Send us your poems and love letters to your park…or tell us about when you fell in love in a park on Facebook @WashingtonParks&People, Twitter @WashingtonParks and Instagram @washingtonparksandpeople with #thinkoutside #parksandpeople #loveyourparks

And as we honor our community park heroes during this month of Black History, we invite you to visit one of DC’s parks named for those who loved our city so deeply and broadly. Here are ten to start with:
