Movie Night in Wooster Square Park - Friday Evening @ 8pm

All are invited to a free movie under the stars! Our Alder Mandy Martinelli and the Historic Wooster Square Association are partnering to host a community movie night in Wooster Square Park this coming Friday evening. The movie is Inside Out 2! People will gather at 8pm and the movie will begin as the sun sets soon after that. Grab your blankets, lawn chairs, and perhaps your favorite local apizza for a fun night out with your neighbors. We look forward to seeing you there! See the flyer attached below!

Watering Team Members Still Needed for Historic Wooster Square Park Trees

🌳 New neighbors have moved into Wooster Square Park and they need your help! 🌳 We're looking for volunteers to water the newly planted trees as they get established and put down roots in our community. Each tree needs 25 gallons, once a week, but you'll only need to commit 2 hours at a time! Equipment and instructions are provided and flexible scheduling can be tailored to find a time that works for you. This is a community partnership between the Historic Wooster Square Association, the Wooster Square Conservancy, the New Haven Parks Department, Urban Resources Initiative, and neighbors like YOU!
