Description
Martin Park is a nonprofit created by several people from The Well, Fresno First Presbyterian Church, and most importantly, Oscar and Julie Rodriguez. Martin Park is an unusual property that sits inside of the heart of the Lowell Neighborhood just north of Downtown Fresno and has expanded to the Webster Neighborhood through the DRIVE initiative.
Martin Park serves as a safe place for kids and families to play, receive tutoring, food, clothing and otherwise have their daily needs met. Most importantly, it is a place to share the heart of Christ with urban communities by building safe parks with a full-time ministry presence.
We hope Serve Fresno not only provides you an opportunity to serve, but also to learn about the special Mission of Martin Park.
