Friends of Brower Park

Thanks to our community coming together to pressure the city to fix the Brower Park Spray Shower, water is once again running! We're proud our community has access to cooling spaces and areas for leisure, so we're celebrating together!

Please join the Fix the Fountain Committee on Saturday, June 6 from 11:00am - 3:30pm (Rain date Sunday, June 7) at the Brower Park Spray shower for a day of fun in the sun! We'll have bottled water, water toys to share, and popsicles. Please feel free to contribute similar goodies!

*Friends of Brower Park will have some "It's My Park Day" volunteer opportunities available in the garden as well*

Storytime in Nature is Back! TOMORROW!! Join the Brower Park Library children’s librarian - Muse, for a good time in Shirley Chisolm Circle!

An unfortunate message on Earth Day, but something needed to be said.

To the person stealing plants and supplies from our space, please stop!

The Brower Park Pollinator Garden & butterfly habitat is lovingly tended by neighbors,
volunteers, and community groups. Purchases are made with donations and grants. If you want more information or wish to volunteer, contact us at [email protected] or follow us at Friends of Brower Park on Facebook or Instagram.

The police have been notified and the community is watching. Let's all be good neighbors.

Friends of Brower Park invites you to Join our annual joyful raking of the leaves from areas that must be cleared while we "leave the leaves" in our pollinator garden and feed the leaf compost bin to enrich our soil. Jumping in leaf piles along the way is encouraged and is a favorite tradition of neighborhood kids! Participate in a community art making installation led by local artist, Uma Dwivedi, using pokeberry dye from plants grown in our pollinator garden. Join our garden season end ceremony where we thank all the season volunteers and dedicate the collage mural rain barrels, mosaic stepping stones, and marker flag art pieces made by dozens of community member artists for the garden in 2025.

Upcoming community partner events.

Didn't get to plant daffodils with us? Consider joining the Friends of Mt Prospect Park on Saturday at their planting event.
