Our History
Since ParkWorks' founding as Rapid Recovery in 1977, we have worked hard to earn a reputation as a community organization that delivers concrete results as we fulfill what has been a naturally evolving mission. From our first efforts to clean and beautify the rapid transit lines, to our leadership role in urban beautification, reforestation and environmental education as Clean-Land, Ohio our history reflects our ability to engage grassroots constituents and civic leaders, and to rally corporate and philanthropic support for a menu of programs tied to community need.
ParkWorks has become a recognized strategic partner leading projects and programs that have significant impact on Cleveland's economic development. Through our expertise and our collaboration with partners such as the Downtown Cleveland Alliance; Neighborhood Progress, Inc.; University Circle Inc. and Cleveland Public Art, ParkWorks develops and expands the use of public space to promote neighborhood and downtown revitalization. We continue to build our reputation as results-driven and to use our depth of resources, expertise and passion to deliver tangible results.
