Macy's has teamed up with the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) for the "Heart Your Park" program to raise awareness for local parks around the country and Fun Forest Park in Tyler has been selected as one of the more than 550 parks nationwide that will get some special attention thanks to citizens and the partnership.

Throughout the month of March when you stop by Macy's on S. Broadway in Tyler, you can donate $1 or more to go towards improvements at Fun Forest Park. The partnership of Macy's and NRPA will then match the donations at the end of the month up to $250,000. The donations will go toward making improvements to playgrounds, trails and more at Fun Forest Park. Tyler Parks and Recreation Director, Stephanie Rollings, says,

We are thrilled to partner with Macy’s and NRPA for 'Heart Your Park' this spring. Through this wonderful program and donations by Macy’s customers, we are excited about the increased awareness and additional funding. This park is a great asset to the community, and we greatly appreciate Macy’s support."
