Our Mission
Friends of Marshall Square Park is a group of concerned neighbors formed to support the care, preservation, and improvement of our park for the benefit of the citizens of the Borough of West Chester.
Objectives:
- Preserve the Park, including the arboretum, hardscape, and all historic structures.
- Heighten awareness at the Borough Parks and Recreation Department and among Borough Council members of the existence and mission of the Friends of Marshall Square Park.
- Prioritize and define Park projects and present them for approval and funding to the borough.
- Raise funds through membership fees, donations, grants, and fundraising events.
- Increase membership and awareness of our group by advertising in borough publications and promoting our group and its mission via literature drops, events, newspaper articles and word of mouth.
- Encourage responsible use of the Park for all residents to enjoy by promoting appropriately-scaled community activities in the Park.
