Summary

You are always sure to find something fun to do at Goffe Street Park in the summertime, whether it’s a game of basketball, a place to cool off on the Splashpad, or some time on the swing set. This is a very high-use Greenspace, and in its second summer season with URI, we focused on keeping the park clean and the plants in the Children’s Gardens healthy. Each workday began with some trash pickup and usually ended with lots of tiny helping hands in the garden as neighborhood children arrived at the park. We added some plants and mulch to the garden beds, and even the park’s smallest visitors learned about weeding, planting, and stewardship each week.
