VOORHEES, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The American Water Charitable Foundation<\/a>, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created by American Water, the nation\u2019s largest publicly traded water and wastewater utility company, today announced it is awarding three grants to support local nature-based play areas in Pennsylvania, Illinois, and California.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to help these communities create public projects that provide environmental education opportunities in a fun and engaging way,\u201d said Laura Martin, president, American Water Charitable Foundation. \u201cThe projects will not only benefit the children and families in these communities, but they will also encourage greater interaction with and appreciation for our nation’s water resources.\u201d<\/p>\n

The projects were chosen based on several criteria including water components, play value, education value, proximity to American Water\u2019s service areas, relevance of the project to the RFP project parameters, use of natural play materials, and opportunities for American Water employee volunteer involvement.<\/p>\n

The grant recipients include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Palmer Park in Coatesville, Pennsylvania is receiving a $150,000 grant award to revitalize the well-loved neighborhood park, transforming it into a source of community pride and a healthy, thriving place for children, families, and adults to recreate. The space will include a small splash park, a nature play area constructed of natural materials, a constructed stream with a small bridge, native plantings, and green stormwater features. The project will be a collaboration between the Foundation, National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), Pennsylvania American Water, and the City of Coatesville.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The City of Peoria, Illinois is receiving a $150,000 grant to build a new public park near Harrison Primary School, called Peoria GreenSplash. The new water play feature will drain into a bioswale, providing children an opportunity to play in the water, while learning about the benefits of native plants and the natural water cycle. The project will be a collaboration between the Foundation, NRPA, Illinois American Water, and the City of Peoria.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Robert\u2019s Lake in Seaside, California is receiving a $150,000 grant to establish greater use and awareness of Robert’s Lake for water-based ecology education for children, as well as offer nature-based recreation opportunities for people of all ages and abilities. The new \u201cRobert\u2019s Lake Eco-Recreation Station\u201d will be designed with the purpose of creating community, including an outdoor classroom structure and nature inspired play equipment. The project will be a collaboration between the Foundation, NRPA, California American Water, and the City of Seaside.<\/p>\n

The grants are administered as part of the Foundation\u2019s Building Better Communities<\/a> signature grant program, administered by the National Recreation and Park Association. The program is designed to enhance the quality of life in the communities the company serves. The program is focused on parks, as they are critical to preserving natural resources that have real economic benefits for communities. Specifically, this initiative concentrates on building or enhancing nature-based playgrounds and play spaces for children, and will connect and educate people on environmental stewardship practices related to water and other natural resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cNRPA is proud to partner with the American Water Charitable Foundation to increase opportunities for children and families to experience nature and the outdoors,\u201d said Lori Robertson, NRPA director of conservation. \u201cEnsuring people everywhere have the opportunity to engage in physical activity and explore nature is essential to building healthier, stronger communities and creating the next generation of environmental stewards.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the last three years, the Foundation has awarded nine NRPA grants to American Water communities in California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and looks forward to adding these three new projects to its Building Better Communities initiative.<\/p>\n
