Playground equipment is on its way. New grass is being planted. And yes — there will be a wooden ship climbing structure. We're in Marblehead. It had to be a ship.

To get there, we need your help. The board will match every community dollar donated — up to $10,000 — if we raise $10,000 by July 1. Every dollar you give becomes two.

Snow Day fun at the Park on Elm Street! Get your sled and come join us on the hill!

Thank you so much to all of those who showed up for our new park today! Trees were planted by a dedicated crew...just a few more to go. Kids were there to help of course, and to test out how fast they could zip around the new circle.

A touch of fall! Thank you to the Halloween elf who spruced up our new fence with these festive pumpkins. 🎃

These kids can’t resist taking some laps in the soon to be new park. There will be something for everyone!

For those little ones who will be playing on the new playground, the fence will help to keep them safe at the park.
