Join us in crowd sourcing support for Manton Parks! Pledge your monthly or one time donation to help restore and support operating costs at the Manton Parks Community Center. Monthly donations, even in the range of $5-20 a month, will help us secure a solid and dependable income to literally keep the lights on!
Manton Parks was founded in 2022 by concerned neighbors with the express goal of purchasing and then transforming the town's shuttered 100-year old school into a Community Center for everyone to enjoy. We are seeking donations to fund our operating costs to keep the center open for all to enjoy!
We support the continuation of current nonprofit activities at the campus including: Manton Education Council's youth enrichment programs, the Manton Apple Festival and restoration of the Manton Historical Museum. In addition we host weekly Tai Chi, Pickleball and the community library is open with high-speed WIFI. Space at the campus is open for short term rental including the commercial kitchen, gym and conference rooms. Many community events such as Easter eggs hunts, Trick or Trunk and Christmas events also happen at the center.
