A Timeless Gift...
A Legacy In Your Name...
An Impact That Lasts Forever.
You've spent a lifetime building success. Now it's time to build something that will outlive you:
Grace Park—a sanctuary where families gather, children play, and communities reconnect.
The Cost of a Disconnected Community
-
Veterans Feel Disconnected
-
The Elderly Feel Isolated
-
Families Remain Tucked Away in Their Homes
-
Neighborhoods Feel Fragmented
-
Our Youth Feel Rejected
And Children are glued to their iPhones instead of playing outside, leaving them disconnected from nature, neighbors, and the joy of real human connection.
The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry reports that children aged 8–18 in the U.S. spend an average of 7½ hours a day watching or using screens—including smartphones, tablets, computers, gaming consoles, and TV.
There’s no common ground anymore—no space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together, connect, and build the relationships that make a community thrive.
Residents say:
"Families used to gather on the weekends… now it feels like everyone stays behind closed doors.”
“This isn’t the kind of community I want my grandchildren to inherit. We’re losing the heart of who we are.”
“I miss the sense of togetherness we used to have.”
We’re losing more than just green space—we’re losing our sense of belonging.
And at a time when division seems to define us, we need shared physical spaces that bring us together more than ever.
We Need A Place Where Our Community Comes Alive
Families Gather
Picnic areas and open spaces where families build connections across generations and backgrounds.
Children Play
Thoughtfully designed play areas that spark imagination and encourage outdoor activity in a safe environment.
Seniors Connect
A welcoming space where seniors and veterans can gather, share stories, and build lasting connections within the community
This is the community we're meant to be.
And you can help create it.
Welcome to Grace Park
The Mission Statement:
To create a safe, accessible, and multi-functional park that enhances quality of life, encourages active lifestyles, and fosters a sense of belonging across all generations.
At its core, Grace Park will be more than just a recreational area—it will serve as a central hub for building relationships and strengthening community connections.
Grace Park Highlights & Attractions
Sports Field
A place where the next generation gathers for organized sports—building fitness, teamwork, and lifelong skills. Regulation sized fields where kids play, students connect, and adults coach and mentor from dawn to dusk.
Walking Paths
A safe, beautiful walking path for our community. Walkers can enjoy the scenic views the park has to offer for a peaceful stroll, or can engage in the optional exercise stations for an added challenge.
Meditation and Vegetable Garden
A space designed for beauty and reflection, for community and creativity. This garden will be a vibrant gathering place where friends enjoy colorful blooms, where individuals find inspiration and quiet reflection, and where local gardeners can cultivate their own vegetables—nourishing both body and spirit
Bocce Ball & Pickle Ball
A recreational hub where everyone can enjoy friendly games and conversation. With shaded seating, nearby parking, and courts designed for both exercise and leisurely play, this space invites community, competition, and connection.
Amphitheter
A welcoming venue where families and friends gather to experience the arts. From community concerts to local theater, this intimate space offers grass-cushioned seating and a beautiful setting for Grace Park–sponsored events that bring people together.
Pike's Playground
A vibrant space for the next generation to explore, make friends, and create lasting memories. Dedicated to Pike Bell, the pocket miner who once called this area home, the playground honors local history while inspiring future generations.

Your legacy isn’t just remembered—it’s lived, every day, in the lives touched by Grace Park
What's At Stake?
This is a once-in-a-generation window.
If we don't seize it, the opportunity may disappear—and so will our chance to change the story of this community.
Grace Park is a six-acre property owned by Auburn Grace Church. In [YEAR], the church leased this property to The Grace Park Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), to steward its future for the benefit of our entire community.
Lease terms ensure the land is preserved for public good—not commercial profit.
But development pressures mount daily.
Without action, this rare green space in the heart of Auburn could become just another strip mall or office complex.
With your support, Grace Park can become something far greater—a living legacy that brings families together, offers children a safe place to play, gives seniors and veterans space for reflection, and creates connection where our community needs it most.
Grace Park: A Legacy Worth Protecting
Every day without action is a day when:
Children lose opportunities to play and grow safely.
Seniors lose moments of connection and purpose.
Veterans lose spaces for peace and reflection.
Families lose the togetherness that makes a community thrive.
We have one chance to get this right. One chance to leave your fingerprint on the future.
And we need your help—today—to make sure this vision becomes reality.
