National Trails Day - Saturday, June 6th 10:00am-Noon
If you were disappointed that nearly every volunteer activity this spring was rained out, join us on Saturday to restore trails, remove invasive species, rake leaves, and spruce up the park. Tools and gloves provided. Weather report: low 70s and NO RAIN - perfect! All ages and abilities are welcome. Meet at Valley Gates Parking Lot midway along the park road.
And advance notice for some upcoming events:
Discover Roxbury Bicycle Tour - Saturday, June 27th 11:00am-1:00pm - Ride includes Malcolm X's home, the Museum of Afro-American Artists, many famous Franklin Park sites, and the Forest Hills cemetery, created as a public burial ground by the Mayor of Roxbury in 1848. There'll be a rest at the Franklin Park Golf Clubhouse where you can purchase lunch. Helmets and an RSVP (info@discoverroxbury.org) are required. Tour leaves from Roxbury Heritage State Park, 183 Roxbury Street in Eliot Square and ends at Roxbury Crossing / Soutwest Corridor Park.
Despite challenging financial times, the Elma Lewis Playhouse in the Park will be back this summer! Mark your calendars - every Tuesday evening (and morning) for six weeks from July 14-- to August 18th. Jazz, R & B, gospel, and a movie on the big screen - great entertainment for everyone. The season's program will be on the FPC website soon: www.franklinparkcoalition.org - help us spread the word this summer, invite all your friends and neighbors for great music in a beautiful park - all FREE!
