FRIENDS OF CARPENTER GREEN PARK
Join our community to care for and support Carpenter Green Park, an urban green space in Southwest Center
City. Our group is a volunteer-based organization whose mission is to provide a beautiful outdoor space for
our neighborhood to gather.
Your support through annual membership is important to our sustainability. Your membership contributions
and/or time and effort ensure that we can cover the cost of maintaining a clean and safe space, and host
events that are fun and welcoming. Friends of Carpenter Green is an inclusive organization. We are open to all
neighbors regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, income, or ability.
