Fellsmere Park is owned by the City of Malden, by deed from the Boston Rubber Shoe Company. In an indenture dated June 1 1904 (MPC 456) the Care & Control of Fellsmere Park was transferred from the City of Malden to the Metropolitan Park Commission. The responsibility for this park passed from MPC through MDC and now lies with the DCR, as statutory successor to both earlier agencies. In 2006 the legislature granted DCR 175k for renovations for the park, and was redone. The DCR and the city of Malden has had a universal agreement to share the upkeep since then.
Project #1: Document the "Fellsmere Park Management Plan", including basic information about park management and care.
The latest version of this plan, and a Community Preservation Act project proposal, is available at this link.

Background
Friends Of Fellsmere Park was established to concentrate on care and planning activities around Fellsmere Park, including the pond.
We have some best practices readily avilable to us thanks to DCR's Bureau of Planning, Design and Resource Protection with a Resource Management Planning Office, directed by Andy Backman.
All of DCR's RMP's are available on the DCR website.
