Volunteer-led, neighbor-funded, plant by plant since 1999. Cleanup days, replanted gardens, neighborhood concerts, and benches that hadn’t been replaced in a generation — until we did it.

Featured project
Support the gardens, the gazebo, and the playgrounds.
Friends of Lafayette-Pointer Park supports the ongoing care of the perennial beds and pollinator gardens, the gazebo and picnic areas where neighbors gather, and the play areas that the city's maintenance schedule cannot keep up with on its own.
As an official park partner, FOLP works alongside DC Parks and Recreation. Over the past decade we have funded the resurfacing of the tennis courts, added benches and picnic tables, planted hundreds of bulbs, and put on community concerts in the park.
We continue to raise money for an expanded planting program, bench replacements, and the slow work of keeping the park feeling cared for. Please support the effort and make a contribution today.
Donations may be mailed to our P.O. Box (preferred) or sent via PayPal. Please email us to set up a recurring gift. Donations are tax-deductible. Thank you for your support!
