Renovation Celebration at Mandell Park

Save the date for August 21st!

Nearby Mandell Park has been undergoing renovation since this past February and they are pleased to be celebrating its completion on Thursday, August 21 with a "Renovation Celebration." This project was made possible through fundraising of over $1 million by Friends of Mandell Park and will feature a larger organic community garden (known as Meredith Gardens), a compost station, a lovely tree-lined area for relaxation and a garden center (made out of a recycled shipping container!).
