Our Mission

We are a volunteer association of citizens working together to protect and improve one
of Newton’s largest public green spaces. We are walkers, exercisers, dog owners, runners,
birders, cross-country skiers, athletes, students, parents, educators, artists, sledders, seniors,
and more, who treasure the diverse passive and active recreational opportunities
provided by this green area in the heart of Newton.

Our goal is
to make Cold Spring Park healthier, safer, and more enjoyable for all,
including those who cannot advocate for themselves. An example is the red maple
wetland and forest, its diverse community of plants and wildlife, and future generations of
park users.
