What Waban Common Inc does
Mission
Creation and maintenance of a public park in Newton, MA.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Waban Common, Inc. ("WCI") developed and maintains a public park under an "Adopt-A-Space" agreement with the City of Newton, Massachusetts. We have planted trees, shrubs and grass, we have installed benches and a game/lunch table, and have contracted with an internationally known sculptor to acquire a sculpture that children will be able to play on. The park is near the center of Waban Village, and serves as a quiet green space for relaxation and recreation by Waban residents and visitors.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.
