North of the Clark campus at Kilby, Gardner and Hammond Streets is the site of the University Park Partnership's most recent neighborhood revitalization effort. The project, a partnership of UPP's community-service arm, the Main South Community Development Corporation, Clark University, and the Boys & Girls Club of Worcester, includes:
A testament to the relationship between Clark and its neighbors, Clark funded the athletic field construction and the Boys & Girls Club funded construction of its new facility. And no barriers exist between the building and adjacent field. Instead, the club provides opportunities to bring Clark students and athletes and neighborhood children together. For example, Clark athletes tutor and run activities at the club, and children there use the athletics field for their activities when they are not in use for Clark intercollegiate and intramural athletic programs.
