2024 Greenspace Report
Cherry Ann is a beautiful park tucked away at the end of Cherry Ann Street that has a decade-long history with URI. Miss Connie and an awesome group of kids have worked tirelessly over the years to make the park what it is. This summer, Beatrice Seldon became the new group leader, and has done great work with her family doing stewardship in the two garden areas at the front of the park. They weeded, planted new perennials and shrubs, and added mulch. Cherry Ann is a special place that provides children on Cherry Ann and nearby streets a safe space to play and provides a space for adults to meet and gather with their neighbors.
