Our Goal - A new Morley Heights Park

We are working to raise money for new playground equipment and a historical marker in the Morley Heights Park. Our goal is to install everything by Spring 2010.

At this time our goal is $35, 000, which would cover the purchase of a playground structure and materials, as well as a historical marker. The city council of Duluth recently voted to support our initiative with matching funds up to $15,000, which has been passed on to the Parks & Recreation department for final approval. Our group is coordinating an effort to raise the remaining funds through grant writing and direct donations from neighborhood families and businesses.

How you can help:
Donations must be made through our fiscal agent - The Montessori School of Duluth. Checks can be made out to The Montessori School of Duluth/Morley Heights Park. They are tax deductible and can be mailed to us at:

The Morley Heights Neighborhood Association
18 Morley Parkway
Duluth, MN 55803

Sponsorship of individual playground components is available for donors. Additionally, donations greater than $1,000 will be recognized on a special plaque. Please contact us for more information.

Volunteer opportunities are also available. E-mail us at morleyheights (at) yahoo.com
