Friends of Watkinson Park

The Dundas-Watkinson parkette serves as an important space for many nearby low-income residents seeking serenity, a place to meet friends, get some fresh air and to be in touch with nature. Our work involves: maintaining the park as a safe space for low-income community members; to restore some of its natural properties through our Native plant garden; and to organize for a decolonized understanding of the park space and Junction neighbourhood as a whole.

Things we do:

• advocacy
• campfire
• community meals
• gardening
• movie nights
• music
• native/pollinator gardens
• theatre

We're looking for volunteers in these areas:

• Regular volunteers
• Occasional volunteers
