2020 Greenspace Report
Each year the story of Cherry Ann Park builds on past accomplishments. In 2020, the community celebrated the installation of a splash-pad that has already started to draw several visitors to the park. Over the past six years, Miss Connie has led the successful transformation of a park from a neglected dumping ground overgrown with invasive plants into a beloved play and gathering area. Despite the challenges of sustaining the group’s work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, the neighborhood youth consistently showed up for workdays at the park. The big focus of the summer was stewardship, with a special attention on the planted areas at the park entrance. To create a more welcoming front, the group weeded, mulched, and re arranged stones around the areas to define the edges.
