Latchstring Park Task Force

Working toward redesign and renovation

of an important pocket park.

Yarmouth is a town with a rich history of volunteerism and community engagement. We feel strongly that the Latchstring Park should be a place of pride in which to applaud these contributions. Transforming the park will create a beautiful, safe, and inviting environment for residents and visitors of all ages, while drawing more customers to local businesses. A gateway to Main Street and in the hub of the Upper Village, Latchstring Park will be an appealing green space, a safe passage between the residential and business districts, and our latchstring out gathering spot for visitors.

​

Through hard work and public meetings, a simple park Concept Plan was created.
