Norton Tricentennial Park Dedication

Norton Tricentennial Park Dedication

Sunday, October 23, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.

The Tricentennial Committee proudly announces the dedication of the Tricentennial Park of Norton at 217 W. Main St. We are planning a brief ceremony to officially introduce our park and acknowledge the many people who have helped to make it possible.

The park reflects a partnership between the Town of Norton and its generous and dedicated citizens and many local organizations and businesses. This will be a wonderful time to celebrate the fulfillment of our original vision and connect this time and place with Norton’s long history, its vibrant present and its promising future.

Under the artistic guidance and expertise of Dana Rappaneau, (Landscape Designer, Olde Thyme Shoppe, Norton) our park manifests the abundant ideas, creativity and collaboration of many people.

As you walk through the arbor and enter the park, you will see many engraved bricks expressing memorials, dedications, advice and greetings from your friends and neighbors.  Beyond that point, the park showcases trees, shrubs and perennials primarily native to Massachusetts.  The Land Preservation Society of Norton has registered the park as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. This program, run by the National Wildlife Federation, seeks to help communities preserve natural environments where native plants and animals may thrive.

Please join us and make the dedication of the Tricentennial Park another memorable day in Norton’s Tricentennial Year. Light refreshments will be served.

Parking:

·        Please park at Norton Middle School or at St. Mary’s Church across the street.

·        Handicap parking will be available at the park/playground parking lot.

Organized by the Tricentennial Park Committee members:

Mary E.R. Brown, Brendan Jones, Butch Rich, Frances Shirley, Phil Zawasky & Kathleen Ebert-Zawasky.
