Pershing St Day in the Park
The Pershing St Community Watch celebrating their revitalized community park with a "Community Day in the Park" event on May 14, 2016. The group had over 100 people in attendance. The group was able to clean up their park and hold this event with the help of a Community-Based Initiative grant from City of High Point's Community Development and Housing Department and help from the City of High Point's Parks and Recreation Department. They also had many community and business sponsors donating to this free community event.
