GATHER & CELEBRATE
Anchored by the recently renovated Susan T. Goldberg Courtyard, the park offers a pergola with seating, the gorgeous Debbie's Garden, an additional patio with tables surrounded by Honey's Garden, an open lawn area, and a new garden with seating at the Slivka-Blechman Holocaust Memorial.
LEARN & PLAY
Rooted in nature and inclusively designed for children of all ages and abilities, the park features the Goldman Family Playground, with opportunities to climb, swing, slide, create, and let imaginations run wild!
SERVE OUR COMMUNITY
Designed for semipublic use (similar to a public school playground), the park provides a fenced, well-lit place to play and gather for a neighborhood with no publicly accessible playground within a 20-minute walking radius.
THE DESIGN
With inspiration from Congress Square Park and Pond Cove Playground, the emphasis on community has been present from the start. Dream sessions with TBE leaders, Friends of Woodfords Corner, and Levey students, faculty, and parents laid the foundation for a concept that truly embodies the needs and hopes of an entire community.
Sashie Misner, designer of the Jewish Community Alliance playground and the Fort Williams Children's Garden, took those dreams and created a design that will elevate communal life for the neighborhood, the Jewish community, and beyond, enabling our children to take risks, have fun, and learn in a safe and stimulating environment.
About Temple Beth El + Levey Day School
TBE's mission is to be an embracing, supportive and vibrant community which observes Conservative Judaism and is committed to perpetuating Jewish values, culture, and tradition. Temple Beth El honors the diversity of its members and is committed to their spiritual, intellectual, and religious growth.
Levey Day School provides a nurturing community and a challenging, personalized curriculum infused with Jewish values and Hebrew language. Students of all backgrounds become lifelong learners committed to tikkun olam (improving our world).
Emblematic of our decades-long partnership, TBE and Levey are thrilled to join together to enhance our neighborhood and to meet the needs of our unified and growing Jewish community.
