This is the website for the Friends of Mary Cummings Park, the 501c(3) non-profit that works to protect and enhance the magnificent property left by Mary Cummings in 1930 “…to be forever open as a public pleasure ground.” Learn more about the park and more about us.

Here is a particularly intense sunset that included a rainstorm where a group of us sheltered under the Flyers tent while the show continued.
