There are 12 parks in Kaiser Dededo, around 6 in Liguan with a combined total of more than 100 in 10 of our villages on Guam. These are Neighborhood Parks built within housing developments,  such as Pagachao-Agat, Liguan &, Kaiser, Dededo and many more.

Ideal for individuals or small groups of students to partner on each other’s garden . Cost for this project depends on materials available, donations and borrowed resources. Preferred location to facilitate project is at the student’s home, youth center or community location.

Excellent project for a group of students. Can be done on school premises, public park (Both with permission) or on private property. Project location must be thoughtfully considered, it must have access to storm water, drain water, or roadway runoff.

KISs - Island Girl Power in Dededo adopted a parcel of land next to the compound in Dededo to develop into a Limestone Forest Restoration Park. The park provides students and the community an opportunity to experience various elements of nature. Students learn about native and endemic species and our goal to restore native habitat. In order to restore native habitat, we teach student about the invasive species that we are removing from the park.  This project was started by community people excited to make a difference and provide positive activities that enhance the lives of our youth.
