Atkinson Common
Atkinson Common is an unusual blend of historic structures, commemorative monuments and elaborate gardens. The challenge for the Belleville Improvement Society is to respect each of these interests while protecting the historic aspects of the park and gardens.
The Belleville Improvement Society
The Belleville Improvement Society is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For over 100 years, the Society has existed to maintain, preserve and beautify Atkinson Common.
The Public Park and Garden
By the early 1900's, Atkinson Common was characterized by elaborate gardens and graceful walkways. The lily Pond and the gazebo date back to the late 1800's. The commemorative monuments were dedicated to the City of Newburyport by 1913 and the Works Progress Administration built the stone observation tower in the late 1930s.
