 In 1961, Huntington Industrial Park was built on top of the West Elmwood neighborhood, right on the shores of Mashapaug Pond.Founded in 2008 the Urban Pond Procession (now UPP Arts but originally named Mashapaug Pond Procession, 2008-2009), is a nonprofit that engaged artists and communities in public art-making for the purpose of celebrating and building stewardship of our shared environment.In 2014, UPP Arts, spearheaded by its founder Holly Ewald, partnered with the Providence Planning Department to plant a small orchard of fruit trees in a park in the West Elmwood neighborhood as the first initiative to recognize and remember the history of the important and lively neighborhood.
