Dear Friends

You are invited to help build a better downtown!

The town purchased the land for the Straw Hat Park (between Zebra’s and Starbucks) back in 1999, identified the parcel as part of a Vision and Action plan in 2006, and initiated a public planning process in 2013. The design can be seen at Facebook.com/StrawHatPark.

We are grateful to receive some construction funding at the last Town Meeting. We can now begin addressing the drainage/ grading issues and replacing the broken sidewalk.

However, our goal is to raise the rest of the funds before October 15th in order to complete the park this fall and install the seating, lighting, and plantings in one phase of construction.

We have been asked why people should support a park that will be used as a patio by people buying a sandwich or coffee nearby. Our answer is that we sincerely hope it will be used in this way to increase foot traffic downtown and support of local businesses.  We also anticipate the park will be used by

         parents waiting for their child taking a class nearby,

         families walking to the library or farmers market,

         children playing on the grass,

         seniors relaxing on a bench, and in so many other ways…

All of this activity adds to the vibrancy of our downtown in an area that currently has no public seating.

You can help build the park this fall and leave a lasting legacy for your family. How? By donating inscribed pavers, benches, and more.  Gifts of all sizes are welcome and several options are outlined on the next page.

If you’ve already made a private donation, we thank you and we will apply that toward the naming opportunity of your choice. 

The Straw Hat Park is a Medfield Foundation Inc. initiative, and donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.  Thank you for investing in our community today!

Sincerely,

Jean Mineo

Chair, Straw Hat Park Committee

 

PS: Don’t delay – if we raise $50,000 before October, we can complete the renovations this fall and reduce the overall cost!

We will only use names, in memory of, in honor of, the smith family or just names, no slogans.
