Pierce Park, Community & Connection 💙
What a beautiful day at Pierce Park! We were proud to have three Balsz tents representing our community — Balsz Elementary School District, Pat Tillman Middle School, and Griffith Elementary — with our friends at Southwest Human Development helping us welcome families at the Tillman tent.
We were also honored to celebrate alongside Mayor Kate Gallego, our Governing Board members, City of Phoenix, AZ USA, Park Rangers, Phoenix Public Library – Saguaro Branch, the 44th Community Alliance, and so many families and community members who came out to enjoy the day.
Today was especially meaningful as we celebrated the improvements at Pierce Park, including the renovated tennis and pickleball courts. We are grateful to the 44th Community Alliance for spearheading this effort and bringing the community together to help create a renewed space for families to gather, play and connect.
Thank you to all of our community partners and everyone who helped make today such a special celebration! 💙
This is what community looks like.
