Summary of Projects

ABNNF received a grant in 2011 to improve James Collins Square, a small and heavily-used pocket park in the heart of North Allston.

The group received a grant through the Boston Grants Initiative to plant trees and add public art to a strip of long-neglected land along Everett Street in Allston, and to complete the work begun in 2008 to build community, engage neighbors and beautify the site.
