Welcome to Wellington Park online! Citizens for Wellington Park is
an informal citizens organization dedicated to the betterment of Wellington
Park, a small neighborhood playground park (1.9 acres) on Kilburn Road
in West Newton, Massachusetts (02465), one of the
villages of the city of Newton. We believe that our little park can
be a focal point for building a spirit of community and cooperation in our
neighborhood and beyond. We encourage the cooperative and constructive
enjoyment of the park by many diverse users, including parents and children,
pet owners, athletes, kitefliers, frisbee throwers, picnicers, nature lovers,
bench sitters, and anyone else who enjoys a friendly neighborhood park
experience. Every fall, we sponsor an event known as the Wellington
Parkfest, a kind of big block party. There are kid's games, chalk drawing,
facepainting, balloons, bike tuneups, musical entertainment, soda, hot dogs,
ice cream, and lots more fun. The Parkfest is a great opportunity for neighbors
in the Wellington Park area to get to know each other. In cooperation
with the City of Newton, our original
improvement focus was a new play structure for the park
which was installed in a community build several years ago. Currently
we are working on additional improvements to the park - in particular new
tennis and basketball courts (official ribboncutting October 15,
wellnews804.htm2006). While this website
serves as our virtual bulletin board, we maintain a real bulletin board at
the park for those who are not wired. Our organization is affiliated
with the Newton Community Service Centers,
Inc, our non-profit sponsor.
This site was initiated on September 3, 1999 and last updated on
September 18, 2004.
