The "Friends" of Stark Park

In 2004, a group of concerned citizens founded the Friends of Stark Park (FSP) a Section 501 (c) (3) organization whose mission is “to develop, revitalize, maintain and protect the heritage and recreational use of Stark Park as an historic asset of the City of Manchester.”

The FSP will continue their work of restoring Stark Park to its former glory, thereby furthering their mission to preserve and protect the heritage of this historic Manchester site.
