Volunteers Shape Their Community

Volunteering is an inspiring way to accomplish neighborhood goals together and a wonderful opportunity to get to know your neighbors.

  
Barnard Place Park welcomes Boston residents to join-in by becoming active volunteers. Through your volunteer support, we can ensure Barnard Place Park will provide a beautiful, open space for the public to enjoy for many years to come.

   
Pattie McCormick, Associate Director of Development of the Edgerley Family South Boston Boys & Girls Club, and Barnard Place Park collaborate annually to create a gardening experience for the Club's pre-teen members as a way to cultivate gardening skills while giving back to the local community as hands-on volunteers— digging in to install Barnard Place Park’s seasonal rounds of plantings.  We are so excited about this program. It is a true, neighborhood partnership through which the Boys & Girls Club will utilize Barnard Place Park as an ongoing laboratory, a place to continue teaching their members about growing and caring for vegetables, herbs, pollinators, and trees.

   
Additional Barnard Place Park Volunteer Opportunities include: 

• BPP's Annual Recreational Bocce Tournament Fundraising Event— to help support park maintenance.  
• Ongoing Landscape Care— shrubs, plants and trees need TLC throughout the year. 
  • Help weed garden beds, prune shrubs, refresh and plant containers and rake leaves.
  • Bocce court maintenance entails raking and regrading the court as needed. If bocce is your passion, we could use your help! 
• Simple Tidying Up— weekly chores
  • Furniture cleaning, sweeping pavers, removal of leaves
  • Seasonal preparations and structural repairs

  
  

If there are volunteer activities in which you would like to participate, we would love to hear from you.
Let’s have some fun!
