Tricentennial Park in Final Stages

The Norton Tricentennial Committee and Land Preservation Society are working toward wrapping up work on the Tricentennial Park. In fact, they are trying to gather volunteers to help prepare and plant the park this Saturday, Sept. 24, 10 a.m. to noon.

“We need volunteers to help rake, weed, spread mulch and plant shrubs and other plants,” said Kathy Ebert-Zawasky of the Land Preservation Society of Norton. “Become a part of this permanent memorial to our town's 300th birthday.”

The park is at 217 W. Main St., in front of Norton Middle School and the Community Playground.

Bring gloves and garden tools, if you have any. Shovels and rakes will be available.

A brick walkway at the entrance to the Tricentennial Park will soon be installed. For a limited time, you may purchase a personalized brick and help get the park ready for the dedication ceremony.

“This is a great way to connect with and contribute to this permanent remembrance of  our  town’s  300th birthday,” said the Tricentennial Committee in a press release.

All proceeds will be used for the development of the Tricentennial Park. All donations are tax-deductible. You will also receive a letter documenting your donation from the Land Preservations Society of Norton. 

Order deadline is Friday, Sept. 30. For the order form, see attached PDF. The Tricentennial Park Dedication will be Sunday, Oct. 23 at 2 p.m.
