Island Maintenance Every Saturday 9:00am May - September

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! 

Take Pride in Your Neighborhood!

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! 

Join a Rotating Maintenance Team

Lynn TV Reports on Planting Day 2023

Lynn TV reported on the Planting Day on May 27, 2023. Check out this great video.

Planting Day was Saturday May 27,2023

Planting Day was May 27th. We had beautiful weather and good group of volunteers. The center island looks great!

Thank you Lynn Ladder

Use of the planking from Lynn Ladder to cross to the island always makes this job very manageable. 

FY 2023 Goldfish Pond received a grant for the Children's Garden Planting Day. Thank you Lynn Cultural Council for a grant to make this possible.

Dancing Men

Urban Scarecrows!

Our personalized Goldfish Pond Dancing Men are on timers and spaced throughout the day.

The Ducks and Geese do not like the movement. They fly away.

We have noticed a significant decrease in birds.

Please do not feed birds!

Bird feces contributes to the abundant algae blooms at the pond. Do not feed the birds.

Events

Annual Neighborhood Flea Market

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. 

  • Table space $35 in advance, $45 day of
  • Always scheduled on that 2nd Saturday in September 

Thank You Local Businesses

Keep it Local
