We're always looking for more volunteers to help with maintenance of the island. Each Saturday morning rotating teams meet at 9:00am at the pond. We load up the lawn mowers and other equipment into our small boat and set sail for the island. No experience necessary, just show up...we will train!
No time on Saturday? Contribute to the pond's maintenance as you are able by cleaning up litter and placing it in the several trash barrels located throughout the park. Thank you!

Thank you all so much for your support of the first ever Goldfish Pond Duck Race. We had a lot of laughs for sure. See our Facebook Page for a video of the 1st duck race and be sure to turn up the sound, the play by play call of the race is priceless.
Hopefully next year with your support we can do a 3rd race since this was quite a popular event.
Vendors: Thank you all for attending the Goldfish Pond Flea Market. We had about 60 vendors with tables selling all sorts of goods and services. The vendors make this possible and thank you for coming back every year.
Fun: We had Boat Rides for kids; Raffles with prizes donated from many local businesses; a Duck Race; a Bake Table; Pizza slices from Shoreline Grill; Pastelitos from Rincon Macorisano; and all sorts of great food from the newly opened Golden Monkey Cafe. We had over 1,500 people make their way through this popular yearly event.
Music: Thank you Mac, Haley and Sunil for putting together the music for the flea market. They kept it fresh with an assortment of musicians throughout the day. Coco did a great job as the master of ceremonies!

Scheduled for May 27th, 2023. Center island massive planting of flowers. Can't wait!
Use of the planking from Lynn Ladder to cross to the island always makes this job very manageable.

In 2022, the GPA has received grants for flowers and a live band for the Flea Market. In 2023, the GPA received a grant for the Children's Garden Planting Day. The Lynn Cultural Council is a division of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
The Goldfish Pond Fun and Flea Day is the neighborhood association's one time fundraiser. How does the Flea market work? Table space is rented to vendors, no experience necessary! It is a great chance to clean out your old stuff and make new friends. Over 5,000 people attend this great Lynn event. That's a lot of people! Better than running your own yard sale.
