Our non-profit neighbourood association, called Friends of Peanut Park has “adopted” Enderton Park, and works with the City to beautify the park and recapture its original charm.

If you want to help beautify Peanut Park, and you are not already on our e-mail list, please go to the Join Friends page and fill in the e-mail form to be on the list for news and events. It costs nothing to join, and you will receive our occasional updates and invitations to events. Friends are called on to contribute money and do volunteer work to enhance the park from time to time.

Fundraising

In adopting the park and making the flower beds, we made a commitment to the City that The Friends of Peanut Park will cover the costs of maintaining our enhancements. Our annual maintenance cost is approximately $15,000; this covers plants, materials and labour.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to date, we have the funds in the bank.  We will continue the neighbourhood fund-raising parties, but the most important funding initiative for the future of the park is “The Peanut Park Gardens Club”, made up of those who contribute annually. The suggested amount is $250 a year. 60 contributors at this level would cover maintenance.
Supporters are welcome to contribute whatever they can. Every bit helps. Contributions of $25 and more qualify as charitable donations for income tax credits.

Three ways to donate:

1. Make out a cheque to the City of Winnipeg with a note that it is for Enderton (Peanut) Park. Be sure the cheque shows your name and address (including postal code) so they can issue a receipt and mail it to you. Please drop your cheque in Karen’s mail box at 98 Kingsway .
2. Transfer money via Interac to friendsofpeanutpark@gmail.com  again, include your name and address (including postal code) in the comments area so the City can issue a receipt and mail it to you.
3. Make a donation to the Friends of Peanut Park fund at the Winnipeg foundation. See information about foundation…
