Events at this location

The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens is pleased to present a joint art exhibition, “Abstract Meditations,” featuring the works of Leonard Kady and Heather Neilson. This show is on view beginning Friday, July 4.

An opening reception will be held at the park on Saturday, July 12 from 4 to 6 p.m. An artist talk will be held on Saturday, July 19 at 4 pm. These events are free and open to the public.

Leonard Kady is an artist and architect whose photography emerged from a personal reckoning with time and isolation during the pandemic. Heather Neilson is an abstract painter and mixed media artist whose work explores the interplay of nature, the passage of time, and a sense of place.

This exhibition offers visitors a moment to pause, observe, and reconnect—with nature, with self, and with the enduring rhythms that shape us all.

Free outdoor family movie nights are back at The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens on the third Friday of each month June through September, this time with an exciting new twist. Each screening will be part of a themed evening experience, featuring pre-movie fun which might include trivia, games, live music, sing-alongs and interactive audience activities.

On July 18 we’ll be screening the 1964 Bond movie, “Goldfinger,” sponsored by William Raveis Lifestyle Realty. In this film, the powerful tycoon Auric Goldfinger has initiated Operation Grand Slam, a cataclysmic scheme to raid Fort Knox and obliterate the world economy. James Bond, armed with his specially equipped Aston Martin, must stop the plan by overcoming several outrageous adversaries.

Movie rolls at dusk. Check our website, Instagram or Facebook accounts for any changes or updates.

The Judy Black Memorial Park and Gardens is pleased to present a joint art exhibition, “Now Dark, Now Glittering,” featuring the works of Chris Barnard and Jeff Joyce. This show is on view beginning Friday, August 1.

An opening reception will be held at the park on Saturday, August 2 from 3 to 5 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.

Barnard was born in New York City and received his BA from Yale and his MFA from The University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. Deeply informed by the pandemic and his parents’ decline, his need to engage with the natural world and create beauty led to many nature-based paintings, echoing  his love for gardening.

Joyce’s work is a meditation on nature. The pieces in this show, selected from a time span of nearly 20 years, are engaged with the landscape. They aim to demonstrate how cultural history mediates and defines the ways we perceive nature.

This show will remain on view through Sunday, August 24. Check our social media for weekly open hours: @judyblackpark on Instagram and Facebook.

On August 15th, we’re partnering with Boondocks Film Society to screen the 2001 romantic comedy, “Amélie”. This event is sponsored by National Iron Bank.

“Amélie” is a fanciful comedy about a young woman who discretely orchestrates the lives of the people around her, creating a world exclusively of her own making. Shot in over 80 Parisian locations, acclaimed director Jean-Pierre Jeunet (“Delicatessen”; “The City of Lost Children”) invokes his incomparable visionary style to capture the exquisite charm and mystery of modern-day Paris through the eyes of a beautiful ingenue.

But then, tragedy strikes, and Sparky shuffles off this mortal coil. Victor is heartbroken, but his science teacher (Martin Landau) gives him an idea of how to jolt old Sparky back to life. The experiment is successful, and all goes well, until Victor’s fellow students steal his secret and use it to resurrect other dead animals—with monstrous consequences.
