2025 Greenspace Report
The Friends of Edgewood Park work year-round to steward an incredible 123 acres of parklands that provide wonderful recreational spaces for residents and vital habitat for wildlife. Rain, snow, and a heatwave can’t slow this group down and they will be at the Ranger Station each Tuesday morning ready to go. We started our summer focusing on the Urban Oasis garden by the Midbridge planting a mountain laurel and three new winterberries. The group as a whole worked throughout the park planting by the Sundial, continuing diligent work at the Gazebo garden, and always working to fight off invasive plants down by the river. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better team of volunteers to take care of the beautiful Edgewood Park!
