Group unveils playground mosaic

On Saturday, the Friends and Advocates of Crocker Amazon and Excelsior will unveil an installation at Crocker Amazon Playground.

More than 500 volunteers contributed to the works, which span 600 square feet of space.

“We wanted to bring people together to do something to beautify the park,” said Linda Harte, president of the advocates’ steering committee.

The event takes place at Geneva Avenue and Moscow Street from 2 to 5 p.m.
