Welcome to the Stonybrook Neighborhood
of Jamaica Plain in Boston!

The Stonybrook Neighborhood Association (SNA) is a group of residents committed to meeting our neighbors and working together to address community issues. In addition to regular meetings, we have an online community to help neighbors connect with each other and share information.

The Stonybrook neighborhood is made up of the following streets: Brookley, Rossmore, Williams, Gartland, Kenton, Shurland, Dungarven, Stedman, Plainfield, Meehan, Stonley, Lotus, Burnett, Rockvale Circle, and neighboring portions of Forest Hills and Washington Streets.

IMPORTANT UPDATE
From Fred Vetterlein:

Rain Predicted Tomorrow - Saturday, April 12th

Early Morning Bird Walk: cancelled
The worst of the rain (and maybe snow) will make it hard to see birds and enjoy a spring walk.

Franklin Park Clean-Up: we're on! 
10am - Noon

Meet at the Golf Clubhouse Fred can get tools from the Golf Clubhouse and meet back at the Williams gate entrance at 10.30.

Thanks to monsoon-prepared team leaders, FPC will still be out tomorrow morning and would love other hardy souls to join them. There's so much litter in the park this time of year; we just had to go ahead, rain gear at the ready. 

If it's not your jam to be out in the rain, but you'd like to help clean up your park - join us the following week for One Boston Day on Saturday, April 19th from 8:45-11:00am. Meet at the Playhouse site at 8:45.

Here's the link to register for One Boston Day. The city water truck and BPD ice cream truck (yum) will be with us!
