Video: Creating an Intergenerational Park in Bennington, Vermont

Learn about this winning project from a 2019 AARP Community Challenge grantee

LOCATION: Bennington, Vermont

GRANTEE: Town of Bennington, Office of Community Development

Stark Street Park is located in a relatively developed residential area just a half-mile from downtown Bennington. The park connects to the area's larger network of hiking, running, and mountain biking trails. This project revitalized the park as an outdoor recreation destination and community gathering place for people of all ages. Grant funding was used to install an ADA-accessible walking loop, benches, landscaping and a pickleball court.

The AARP Community Challenge funds "quick-action" projects that build momentum for local change to improve livability for people of all ages.
