We need your help to get this built – it will be a volunteer-built park October 4-8, 2023.
Rendering of the future Candace Pickens Park to be built October 2023. Learn more about Playgrounds by Leathers.
Sign Up to Help!
*** If you’d like to volunteer to help please SIGN UP HERE ***
Before the build dates it will take a lot of coordination – we’re looking for a few good people to help as:
Childcare Coordinators – providing supervision and fun activities for kids during construction
Food Coordinators – acquiring food from the community for each day of the build
Want to help? Know someone who might be able to help with one of these coordinator positions? Email: [email protected] or call David Rodgers 828.545.9571
In mid-May we will have a design similar to the former playground to present to the community.
Donate to help build the park!
There will be a transaction fee of 2.89% plus .30 USD for PayPal transactions. For transactions of $500 or more the Asheville City Schools Foundation (ACSF) strongly recommends checks or wire transfers. For wire transfers or the transfer of stock contact Rebecca Abide at [email protected]. ACSF is a 501(c)3 organization and donations are normally tax deductible. However, always consult your taxadviser. Cash should be conveyed in person, of course.

Is it time to get your “Halloween Boo” on?
Halloween is not just a day; it’s a month-long experience! And what better symbol to represent this spooky season than the iconic pumpkin? As the leaves change and the air gets crisp, there’s a palpable excitement in the air. And this year, the Grove Arcade is about to get a whole lot spookier!
Here at Mountain Made Gallery, we are ghoulishly excited invite you to grab your costumes EARLY and join us inside Grove Arcade on Saturday, October 7 from 12-4 pm for a family-friendly fall event hosted by the Grove Arcade!
Here’s what you can expect at the Grove Arcade:
* Free Pumpkin Decorating Class: Unleash your creativity and design a pumpkin that stands out!
* Entertainment: Be mesmerized by life-size puppets from the Street Creatures collective and sway to live music that sets the perfect Halloween mood.
* Special Storefront Displays: Grove Arcade merchants, including Mountain Made Gallery, have curated special Halloween displays for you.
* And as a bonus event – Local Halloween Art at Mountain Made:
Don’t miss Mountain Made Gallery’s metal art and handcrafted glass “pumpkin patch” exhibit that promises to be a Spooktacular treat!
Never fear, we got some lovely, AND totally creepy Jack O Lanterns ready for you this year… Metal Halloween Art by Edwin Knies and Handblown Glass Pumpkins by Terri Sigler.
