The idea
After-Dark Activation of Almont Park, Mattapan
Who it helps and why
Fund evening activation of Almont Park, one of Boston’s largest neighborhood parks. Mattapan lacks the free evening programming other neighborhoods enjoy. Invest in park lighting, seating, and a summer series of music, movie nights, food vendors, and youth performances so Mattapan families have a safe, vibrant gathering place after dark.
