It’s been a challenging year. Norwood, Bedford Park and Mosholu, we all pulled through together and cared for the parkland. People in the community, local businesses, and elected o৽ cials got litter out from our parks and sidewalks, helped with gardening, and stayed alert to keep our surroundings safe from crime.

2020 saw the opening of a new, edible community garden located at the Keeper’s House, the reconstruction and reopening of the new Kossuth Playground and, most important, new volunteers from the community joined the FOMP team and spent hours keeping Mosholu Parkland landscape clean and green.

As we look back on this bittersweet year, we are humbled by the increase in civic pride, and grateful for the environmental awareness growth that needs to continue to help battle global warming.

Our condolences to all those who transitioned over, especially from COVID-19. Believe that everything is connected and walking in nature will remind you that your loved ones are still connected with you, a reminder that we need to be kind to everything that lives.

Whatever holiday you’re celebrating this season, Friends of Mosholu Parkland a.k.a. FOMP are taking this time to wish you all the best now, and for 2021.

Together, let’s end this year by displaying, more than ever, colorful holiday lights on your windows, building entrances, and houses: bright lights for those we lost, and a happier beginning for the rest. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
