Friends of Edmands Park


Friends of Edmands Park is a local community organization committed to preserving, protecting, and enhancing the natural beauty and public enjoyment of Edmands Park in Newton, Massachusetts.

As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID: 92-1279269), we rely on the support of volunteers and neighbors to care for this treasured green space.

One of our recent initiatives is the creation of a City of Newton-approved Pollinator Garden, located near the north entrance of the park on Blake Street. This project supports local biodiversity and provides a welcoming habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators critical to our ecosystem.

We’re always looking for community members who love nature and want to get involved—especially with gardening and watering the pollinator garden.

Whether you’d like to volunteer your time or make a donation, your support helps us ensure that Edmands Park remains a vibrant, well-maintained space for all to enjoy.
