The Chandler Park marshland project (read more) is well underway. Soon we will plant more than 4,500 native plants and trees. Native plants will provide protected land for birds, snakes, amphibians, pollinators, dragonflies and other wildlife. Together, they remove pollutants and contaminants from stormwater.

The Conservancy will leverage the marshland environment for recreation and learning. It will include greenspaces for picnics and exercise, an interpretive observation path and educational offerings for children and adults to learn about conservation, natural habitats horticulture. Chandler Park will become a “living lab” for environmental and ecology-related education for the entire community and region.

Join the Friends of Chandler Park and support this effort by making a donation to purchase and maintenance plants for the marshland. There are several species to choose from. Click here to donate

Phil Pierce Pierce, Monroe & Associates, LLC: "I grew up near Pingree Park and we played baseball there. But, when we had our baseball tournaments, we knew that if we made it far enough in the tournament, we would end up playing for the championship at Chandler Park. So making it to Chandler Park was making it to the big time! It had great baseball facilities. I have agreed to play a leadership role with the Chandler Park Conservancy because I want to see it come back to the great place for kids that it once was."
