About Friends of Marshall Square Park

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.

Volunteers Needed!

Your skills and enthusiasm can make a big difference, and any amount of time you can donate is greatly appreciated! We are currently seeking a Vice President, as well as help on the Events, Concerts, and Communication/Membership Outreach committees.

This is an excellent opportunity to contribute to the West Chester community. By volunteering with us, you’ll play a crucial role in enhancing and maintaining a beloved historical site and popular outdoor area cherished by our local community.
