Mission and Program Overview

Mission

To promote and maintain public open spaces in the areas in proximity to the seeking river, specifically including Blackstone Park and the open space which divides Blackstone Boulevard; and to carry on any other activity that may be lawfully carried on by a corporation formed under the Rhode Island Nonprofit Corporation act as may be in effect from time to time.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Blackstone Boulevard Park: The popular Trolley Shelter summer concerts on the Boulevard, with support from Senator Sam Zurier, returned with five shows played by favorite artists and some newcomers. A muddy, uneven 1,400' section of Blackstone Boulevard center path was renovated, creating vastly improved drainage and stability. Building on work begun years ago by the Conservancy and the Parks Department, the Parks' staff completed the design, planning, and construction oversight, with funding from the City's Capital Improvement Fund and Councilwoman Helen Anthony's Neighborhood Infrastructure Fund, and with contributions from the Conservancy. In October, volunteers planted 1,000 daffodil bulbs in three lawn areas. Daffodils from the previous year bloomed abundantly in the spring, and the 2022 planting doubles the number of flowers in 2023. We celebrated Earth Day with a "sticks-to-mulch" cleanup. In collaboration with Parks Dept crews, a summer Pickup Sticks helped beautify the Boulevard and improve mowing safety. As part of a coalition of environmental organizations, we received grant funding for design work and community outreach around a new Boulevard Gateway project managing stormwater at the south end of Blackstone Boulevard. Contractors watered young trees at a cost of over $3,000, and planted and cared for five new trees. Volunteers, including a crew from Swan Point Cemetery, cared for Boulevard gardens at the south end, the Witherby statue, and the Trolley Shelter. An expert gardener improved the south garden with native plants.$4,000$15,233
Blackstone Park: A monthly "Art and Science in the Park" series shared educational activities and crafts. Our other nature-based events included a Moon Rise Celebration, two RiverRides, guided shoreline walks, and birding. Attractions such as a child-friendly scavenger hunt and the haybale art project by local artist Pam Steager drew many. A record number of concerts were held in Blackstone Field including Classical Indian music, Indian fusion, jazz, and roots-inflected rock. A native plant sale sprouted at one concert. Park-keepers at fourteen events, and working independently, fixed trails and tackled invasive plants. In partnership with Save the Bay, volunteers cleared trash along the river. Groups from local schools including The Croft School, Moses Brown, and Wheeler came for service work and nature study. Lincoln School and BPC volunteers partnered on stormwater education. We helped the City's Departments of Public Works and Planning with public outreach for their stormwater project on Irving Avenue near the river, which will dramatically reduce street runoff. We worked with Groundwork RI to install three rain gardens along Angell Street, just below Paterson Park.$514$9,638
