Sewall Commons: how to create a neighborhood park
Some folks may be aware of the lots on Sewall Street that are just sitting around, unloved, and under-used. The neighbors have decided that there could be some fun uses of this space, and so we're piloting a number of things to change the tune.
To get things rolling, some of the interested folks have started a web site to begin to drive the conversation. See it here: https://www.sewallcommons.org/ You can see a couple of "events" in that tab. I'll also post them here for ease of reading.
Sat, Oct 14: 5:30pm. In addition to thinking and talking about the space, we are trying out some events too. This Saturday (which looks like a lovely night) we're gonna have a drive-in movie. Ok, it's a walk-in movie. It will be a kid-friendly film. Bring your lawn chair or a blanket and let's try it out. Bring snacks. Let's gather and laugh.
Sat, Oct 28: 3-7pm. We're gonna have a Halloween festival. Let's bring food, fun, candy, decorations, costumes, whatever. Give the local kids another chance to wear their gear, meet the neighbors in a safe public space, and talk about what we might want this space to be.
