Update on WENA’s Summer Activities at Tate/Tyng Playground & Harbor View Memorial Park
Tate/Tyng & Harbor View Fundraiser
Since September 2024, the West End Neighborhood Association has been conducting a fundraising campaign to support the park department’s planned renovation of the Tate/Tyng Playground and the planting of more fruit trees and shrubs on the edible hillside at Harbor View Memorial Park. Although we fell $1,560 short of our goal of $10,000 by June 30th, it’s never too late to make your donation. Mail a check to WENA, PO Box 7886, Portland, ME 04112. Or use PayPal on our website at http://www.wenamaine.org/get-involved/donate/. Or give cash at a WENA event or to a WENA board member.
