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.

Crosswalk Signs for Safety
In 2022 the GPA purchased 4 personalized crosswalk signs to place around the park area. We put them away in the winter (snow/plows) and we put them back out in the Spring.

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
