The Community Peace Garden at Perkins Park is born of a collaboration of many groups in Brockton. Originally dedicated in the spring of 2007 in conjunction with National Crime Victims Rights Week, the garden is an on-going project of Community Partners for Peace.  Community Partners for Peace is an open collaboration dedicated to the belief that Brockton is a great place to live, work and raise a family and that the best way to address violence in the community is to promote peace,  justice and caring in the community and for the community.  We are standing together for peace.  If your group plans to have a Peace Event at the Peace Garden at Perkins Park contact CCBfor information on possible resources.          Community Connections of Brockton (CCB)
