Help Us Prep for the Party!

We are so grateful for all volunteers! They help Stewart Park be the incredible place we all love, and have fun doing it! A Weekday Workday volunteer opportunity coming up Wednesday, Sept. 18, between 11 am and 2 pm. We hope you can come out for a while over your lunch time and help FSP prepare the park for fall!


Tasks include: trimming lakeshore vegetation and cleaning up the Picnic Pavilion and Wharton Studio/DPW building. We’ll meet rain or shine!

Like and share the event on Facebook.


More details: FSP has cleaning tools available for the Picnic Pavilion, and some landscaping tools, as well, but if you want to help on the shoreline, feel free to bring your own gloves, hand loppers, pruners and hedge trimmers. Wear boots or sturdy shoes. Meet at the Picnic “Large” Pavilion to sign-in and get directions.

Furnishing Sponsorship Opportunities

Help FSP enhance the park to make it as comfortable, inviting and accessible as possible by sponsoring a beautiful high-quality furnishing -- perhaps a new glider, like the one pictured above!

The Stewart Park Carousel will be free for all Sunday Sept. 15, thanks to sponsor Namaste Montessori! They're celebrating 20 years of honoring the light in every child!
