The Franklin Park Defender movement has grown in the last year to include an ever-increasing number of residents, community leaders, families, activists, environmentalists, landscape architects, historians, and concerned citizens beyond city limits – all working together to express their concerns in City Hall hearings and at community standouts and meetings. Defenders have written letters to media and spoken to their City representatives, and they continue to connect with neighbors and groups to bring awareness to this project.  

 

The Franklin Park Defenders encourage the City to invest funds to restore and renovate Franklin Park’s White Stadium for all Boston Public Schools students and the residents who use and love Franklin Park, not for the benefit of a for-profit entity. 

​

The name “Franklin Park Defenders” was originally selected by twenty individuals and the Emerald Necklace Conservancy  who joined together as citizen advocates in a lawsuit to prevent the privatization of Franklin Park’s White Stadium. 

 

We put our beliefs into our Statement of Principles. Sign on, join the movement, and become a Franklin Park Defender today.
