Suns of ReAwakening is petitioning the City of Frederick, MD to return Mullinix Park to the African American community, to whom which it was deeded to. We also petition the City of Frederick to honor a list of our demands to:
- Remove the barriers at the the west end of the park blocking the ability for vehicles and pedestrians to exit the park. These barriers have created a safety issue.
- Return the land at the south east end of the park that was taken to create parking spaces that are being used for free parking for person’s visiting the Frederick Court House situated north of Mullinix Park.
- Return the historic Diggs Pool to it’s original design. The current design only allows children to utilize the pool.
- Build an amphitheater to allow Mullinix Park to properly host events and live entertainment.
- Remove the storage building/bathrooms from the center of the park and relocating them to a more convenient location.
- Add more bathrooms in the park.
Suns of ReAwakening ask that you sign this petition in support of the demands being brought forward.

Consulting with community leaders on the next steps for our demands. The feedback on the pool and parking situation has been overwhelming.

the barriers at the west end are a major safety hazard. its about time the city fixed this mess.
Restore the pool to how it used to be. My family has been going to this park for decades and it keeps getting worse.
those parking spaces are ridiculous. why should court visitors take up space meant for the community? move them out.
Fix the park. We need that amphitheater space for the neighborhood to actually use.
Finally someone is speaking up about what was taken. This park has a real legacy and it needs to be respected.
