Friends of Union Park
 
The Friends of Union Park is the Committee of the UPNA that is responsible for the ongoing maintenance of our landmark Park. Last year, the time and effort of many was finally rewarded with the re-installation of the beautifully restored 1913 Union Park fence. Thank you again to all those who played a role in securing this truly significant Park improvement!

The removal and reinstallation of the fence, regrettably but not surprisingly, took a heavy toll on the surrounding lawn. The Friends Committee is currently focused on restoring the Park's lawn to the same high standard of our new fence. To that end the Friends have retained Fairview Landscaping to provide, come spring, the services necessary, e.g. seeding, fertilizing, aerating, etc., to replenish the Park's grass supply.

Last fall, the Friends also hired Barrett Tree Service to prune and maintain the Park trees. In addition to improving the health and well being of our Park trees, the pruning should also allow some more all important sunlight to find its way down to the lawn.

Funding for these maintenance efforts is drawn from a separate Friends of Union Park fund, funded by you, our neighbors, and other interested and caring persons.

If you have any comments or concerns about the maintenance of Union Park, or would like to become involved in the stewardship of the South End's preeminent Victorian residential garden park, please send an e-mail to info@UPNA.org
