Davie Residents Can Vote in “Staples Dream Park Challenge with D-Wade” To Make Driftwood Estates Park the Winner
The Town of Davie announced today that Driftwood Estates Park has been chosen as a participant in the Second Annual “Staples Dream Park Challenge with D-Wade,” a local parks improvement initiative. Throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties, 18 parks including D riftwood Estates Park will compete for the chance to win the grand prize of $25,000 to be used for park improvements and a winner’s celebration featuring NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade. Additional prizes include $10,000 and $5,000 in park improvements for the first-
and second-place parks. The remaining 15 parks will receive $1,000 each for their participation.
From February 14, through April 10, Davie residents can vote for Driftwood Estates Park at www.StaplesDreamPark.com Participants can vote online once per day and pick up a “power card” at any South Florida Staples store to obtain 10 extra online votes. Voters will automatically be entered to win a chance to meet D-Wade in person or one of five autographed jerseys.
“When community parks have all the necessary amenities, they become a great place for children and families to come together,” said Wade. “With larger prizes and more parks participating in this year’s contest, we’re expecting the competition among communities to be intense. Together, Staples and I are working to improve South Florida parks through the Dream Park Challenge.”
Driftwood Estates Park located at 3300 N.W. 77 Avenue is an essential part of the Davie community. Local organizations such as the Rick and Rita Case Boys and Girls Club rely on the park for sports and recreation. Driftwood Estates Park’s facilities include a multiuse ball field, play area, shelter, picnic area, and trails. However, Driftwood Estates Park could use the grand prize to install football goals on the existing ball field, to renovate the turf area and to purchase new playground equipment.
Dennis Andresky, Davie Parks and Recreation Director, says, “Davie community is proud of its parks and recreation facilities and is committed to making improvements. I would like to urge our residents to support us by voting for Davie on the Staples’ website.”
Last year, South Florida residents cast approximately 250,000 votes in the first ever Dream Park Challenge. With more than one-third of the votes, John E. Mullin Park (formerly known as City Hall Park) of Lauderhill took home the $25,000 grand prize and received a summer festival at the park featuring a guest appearance by D-Wade.
