Each park is unique, with its design based on ideas and needs of the school and surrounding neighborhoods. While all of the parks are different, a typical park consists of modular playground equipment, a walking trail, benches, picnic tables, trees, an outdoor classroom, and a public art component.<\/p>\n<p>SPARK Parks are available for public use after\u00a0the school day (including after-school programs) has ended\u00a0and on weekends and holidays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a  class=\"x-btn x-btn-rounded x-btn-large\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.sparkpark.org\/wordpress\/donate\/\" title=\"Donate Now\" target=\"_blank\"      data-options=\"thumbnail: ''\"> Donate Now!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div  class=\"x-column vc one-third\" style=\"\" ><hr  class=\"x-gap\" style=\"margin: 50px 0 0 0;\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_widgetised_column wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div id=\"recent-posts-3\" class=\"widget widget_recent_entries\">\n\t\t<h4 class=\"h-widget\">Recent News<\/h4>\n\t\t<ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sparkpark.org\/wordpress\/spark-honors-kathleen-ownby-for-37-years-of-transformational-leadership\/\">SPARK Honors Kathleen Ownby for 37 Years of Transformational Leadership<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sparkpark.org\/wordpress\/fall-2024-spark-park-dedications-invitation-below-plus-rodriguez-elementary-and-tinsley-elementary\/\">Fall 2024 Spark PARK Dedications \u2014 invitation below plus Rodriguez Elementary and Tinsley Elementary<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/sparkpark.org\/wordpress\/spring-2024-spark-parks-6-dedications\/\">Spring 2024 SPARK Parks &#8211;
