On November 4th, the community gathered to celebrate the grand reopening of the newly renovated Waterside Park—a vibrant space made possible through collaboration, dedication, and a shared love for our environment. The event brought families, friends, and neighbors together for a day filled with joy, activities, and inspiration.

Attendees enjoyed free food, engaging activities for kids, and the opportunity to get their hands dirty with tree plantings that will enhance the park's beauty and ecological health for generations to come. Laughter filled the air as children explored the new amenities, while volunteers and visitors connected over a shared commitment to the environment and community.

We were proud to welcome our incredible partners who helped make this transformation a reality:

• Wicomico NAACP: Advocating for equitable access to green spaces for underserved communities.

• City of Salisbury: Supporting the vision of a sustainable and inclusive public park.

• Lower Shore Land Trust: Championing conservation efforts to protect our natural resources.

• Chesapeake Bay Trust: Funding initiatives to restore and enhance the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Together, we celebrated the park’s rebirth as a thriving hub for recreation, education, and connection to nature. This renovation is a testament to what can be achieved when organizations and community members unite for a common purpose.
