In 2022 Friends of Stewart Park focused on the work that makes our beloved park inclusive and accessible to all.
With your support, we plan to continue this work in 2023!
We are growing our volunteer program to help maintain the park and Waterfront Trail; enhancing way finding signs, improving landscape and buildings, developing new interpretive signage, and advancing two major park revitalization projects: the Splash Pad and Seasonal Accessible Restroom, and the Wharton Studio Park Center.
Thank you for your love and appreciation of Stewart Park and of the work we do. And thank you to all who have given to Friends of Stewart Park this season. If you haven't yet, please consider making an end-of-year gift in support of Friends of Stewart Park. It's quick, easy and tax-deductible. Your gift makes a huge difference!
