One of our erstwhile volunteers (who prefers to remain anonymous) recently repaired the supports for the sprinkler support boxes located near the Gaspee memorial.

Something new coming to Ocean Avenue

The existing bench at the southern end of Stillhouse Cove Park was recently removed to make way for a new memorial bench that will be unveiled at a June 19, 2026 ceremony. Volunteers, including board members Doug Shemin, Donna Fieldman, Richard Finley, and Colin Murphy disconnected the old bench and power washed the stone pad making way for delivery a new marble bench. The old bench will be stored until July and placed on a new cement pad near the rose garden.
