Community Connections

Park Izmery is the only open space in an inner city neighborhood of Port au Prince.  It offers  safety and room for the community to meet,  play, exercise,  learn and have fun.  

BASKETBALL COURT

The Basketball Court installed by Building Bridges International in collaboration with HotFutbol serves as a source of income for all those using the court. It is used for basketball, exercise classes, yoga, weddings, and community social events.  

Feed my Starving Children

 Space is leased to Feed My Starving Children for two storage containers of boxed food. The food is distributed from the park once a month and local people are hired to help pack and distribute the food to the orphanages and programs in the Port au Prince and surrounding areas that work with children.  

SCHOOL PHYSICAL EXERCISE CLASSES AND  TOURNAMENTS

Having a field and open space allows  area teams to participate in tournament play at Park Izmery.    High school tournaments take place in  June and  the Adult soccer league hosts a tournament each summer.   Basketball practice and basketball tournaments happen year round.
