The Friends of Fremont Park (FFP) will gather and work together for the improvement of Fremont Park . The primary objectives of FFP are to ensure that Fremont Park is a safe and pleasant place for neighborhood residents and visitors and to establish the park as a vital focal point of a thriving community. Activities of the FFP will include the continued pursuit of improvements and enhancements to the park and the promotion of the park as a location for neighborhood gatherings and planned community events.
There should be more chess events like this. I live near Fremont Park but this is the first time I've heard of such a gathering. I'm a big fan of mind games like chess and poker.
