Friends of Brown Street Park
Our Purpose
to create and maintain a vibrant, healthy green space to bridge communities and serve as a model for eco-friendly living and community for the other 95 parks in the city of Providence. We were the first truly active 'Friends' Group and revitalized a multi acre city park that had been completely unusable. We used a careful mix of landscaping, wild space and creative ideas to mix fitness, community and green using ecological principles.
