Friends of Vernon Park

Come out and celebrate Vernon Park under our new lights! Bring your friends. This is a big moment for all of us in Germantown.  We have a lovely new playground, interesting plantings and places to sit to enjoy fall as the leaves change.

Come to the celebration and start dreaming about plans for next spring and summer!

The ribbon cutting scheduled for today, October 14 at 2 pm has been postponed. Thank you to our community for all of your support, flexibility and patience during the Park’s renovations. Please visit Vernon Park in the meantime, there are great things to see. We will post information about a rescheduled date when it is available.

Join us to get starters for your garden—all organically grown. We will post after the event with the amount of remaining plants for sale, but come out if you can for the best selection!

Dear faithful friends and neighbors of Vernon Park,

Foiled by dreadful bad weather yet again, the groundbreaking in Vernon Park has been cancelled.

We can all keep our spirits up – the surveyors began marking out the park and the work will begin very soon. So stay warm and cosy, drink hot chocolate and dream of a wonderful summer in the park.
