Stanley Park, 400 Western Avenue, Westfield, is excited to announce that efforts are underway in planning the 11th annual fundraising event; Birthday in the Park ~ Celebrating Our 70th! This year’s fundraiser will support the repair of Stanley Park’s Rose Garden Fountain.

The fountain, located at the center of the Stanley Park Rose & Flower Garden, is one of the most popular landmarks in the park and has served as the backdrop for countless engagement and wedding photos through the years. Surrounded by over 30 varieties of roses and several hundred rose bushes as well as variety of spectacular annual and perennial gardens the fountain has collected millions of wishes from its visitors since the park was founded. To help our visitors continue to enjoy this original and iconic feature of Stanley Park, the fountain must undergo some much-needed repairs.

This year’s event will be held Saturday, September 7 at 5 pm in Stanley Park’s Beveridge Pavilion. The success of the event will rely on ticket sales, sponsorships and donated items for the live and silent auctions.
