At 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 the Friends of Buttonwood Park, Mayor Jon Mitchell, members of the New Bedford High School Whalers Basketball team and the public will gather in Buttonwood Park to celebrate the complete renovation of Buttonwood Park’s basketball courts. It has been nearly 30 years since the courts were last updated.

The need to rebuild the Park’s three basketball courts was identified by the Friends of Buttonwood Park as a top priority project of its “Buttonwood on the Move” campaign, designed to improve recreational facilities and encourage exercise in the park. The Friends of Buttonwood Park is an all volunteer non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Buttonwood Park—a 97-acre public park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead.
