Join us in keeping Ashburnham Memorial Park beautiful! Our community cleanups bring neighbours together to restore and protect our local park, trails, and green spaces. Whether you’re a longtime resident or a first-time volunteer, your efforts make a real difference. Ashburnham Memorial Park is approximately 15 acres in size, so the more volunteers that show up to help at our cleanups, the more widespread our cleaning efforts can be! Check out our upcoming cleanup events below and we hope to see you at an event!
Join us at our next cleanup!
When: Saturday April 12th, 10 am
Where: Meet at the Heritage Pavilion, Museum drive (behind the PMA)
Details: A cleanup of the entire 15 acre park with emphasis on the tobogganing debris and other hot spots. Supplies and refreshments will be provided
Circular Economy Item Drop-off
AMSG is excited to be partnering with Clean Up Peterborough at all of our cleanups, and to be contributing to the circular economy. A circular economy is an economic model that reduces waste and promotes sustainability by reducing consumption, reusing materials, and recycling resources. See the graphic below to learn what items you can bring to be recycled.

From a Parking Lot to a Park
AMSG envisions a transformation of Ashburnham Memorial Park, specifically, the upper parking area, into a safer, greener, more inclusive and beautiful space for people and wildlife. To this end, AMSG hosts public engagement events to collect ideas from community members as they re-imagine the space.
Participants at our events have been invited to fill out a survey answering questions about usage, perceptions, and hopes for the park’s future. Click here to take the survey
The results from the engagement events and surveys are being shared with Basterfield and Associates Landscape Architects, to render a conceptual design of a re-imagined parking area in Ashburnham Memorial Park. The conceptual design will be shared at AMSG community events in 2025 and used as a discussion tool for the continued collection and refinement of ideas.
