Ringgold Park is planning a season full of fun events. Please mark your calendars and join us!

Sunday, April 16:  Our annual Egg Hunt. Let your kids search for candy-stuffed eggs in the play area and shake hands with a life-sized bunny.

Saturday, May 6:  Boston Shines Clean-up. The city provides the mulch, FORP provides the tools, and neighbors band together to beautify the park.

Saturday, June 17: Fête de la Musique and South End Garden Tour. We’re honored to serve as a stop for both this year. More details to come…

Special thanks to everyone who came out to Ringgold Park for our 2016 Halloween Party! Great costumes and neighborhood spirit abounded. Sincere appreciation to our generous donors: Upper Crust Pizza, Picco, Foodie’s Markets, b.good and Caffe Nero.

FORP will be leading a Cleanup of Ringgold Park on Saturday, November 19th at 10am. Please join us and help us keep our beloved park looking great. The Cleanup will be followed by a BBQ–weather permitting.

The annual Halloween Party at Ringgold Park is happening on Monday, October 31st at 5pm. This is always a fun event and a great way to kick off Halloween–with costumes, friends, neighbors and food donated by local businesses. Hope you can join us!

We’ll have pizza, sliders, veggies, fruit, snacks, juice, and water for the kids to fill up on before the candy craziness, plus some coffee to energize the adults.

Sincere thanks to our generous donors: Upper Crust Pizzeria, Picco, Foodie’s Markets, b.good and Caffe Nero.

Trick-or-treating will start at approximately 6pm, and Waltham Street will again be closed to traffic.

Before, during or after the party, please also consider making a donation to the Friends of Ringgold Park, a non-profit group dedicated to preserving this precious neighborhood resource. All funds raised go toward maintaining the park’s horticulture and playgrounds and hosting community events like this one.

For those who’d like to get more involved, we’re also looking for event volunteers and board members. Please email ringgoldpark@gmail.com if you’re interested.

Please join us for live (family-friendly) music on Saturday, June 18 from 4pm to 6:30pm as Ringgold takes part in the 4th annual Fête de la Musique, presented by the Community Music Center of Boston. This outdoor festival, which celebrates the summer solstice, spans seven South End venues, and we’re delighted to participate again!

The engraved fountain circle pavers have been installed! We are deeply grateful to everyone who purchased one, as all proceeds go toward horticulture and irrigation maintenance. Swing by soon to see the mark you’ve made on our park!
