 Join the community members and family of Paula and Charlie Titus at a grand opening ceremony to celebrate the completion of the park. Paula Titus Park was established as a new park in 2017 and was designed by CBA Landscape Architects. This park is dedicated in memory of Paula Pina Titus, who was born to and raised in a proud Cape Verdan family in Taunton, MA. Paula moved to Boston and settled on Fort Avenue in 1974 where she resided for four decades. Paula’s passion for love and Roxbury was unwavering. Please join us to celebrate the completion of the new developed park. 

Thirty-four years ago, in July of 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law, enshrining and protecting the rights of people with disabilities throughout the country. The ADA has improved the lives of people with disabilities immensely, and that is worth celebrating!

Come to celebrate and honor the rights of people with disabilities. There will be a speaking program with City officials, a disability resource fair with local organizations and programs, food, music, and free t-shirts (while supplies last — so get there early)
