There will be a “Painting in the Park Party” Sunday, June 3 from 1-3:30 p.m. to celebrate the hopeful upcoming renovation of Miller Park at Harvard and Sammett Streets. Community members will have the opportunity to paint trash cans and tables at the park. Refreshments will be provided and no painting experience is necessary to attend.
A few months ago, the City received an Open Spaces Sacred Places Planning Grant from the TKF Foundation to develop designs for the renovation of Miller Park. The planning team, which consists of Architect Abby Klima, Artist Tova Speter, Ward Seven Councillor Neal Anderson and the Malden Redevelopment Authority, plans to submit their final design proposal to the private foundation at the end of June. The city should know by December whether the foundation will provide grant funds to carry out the renovation project.
This Open Spaces Sacred Places Planning Grant has brought the Malden community together to develop the design that includes a tranquil space for reflection and meditation. For more information, please visit www.millerparkvision.com or email info@millerparkvision.com.
