This meeting will take place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center – 415 Summer Street, Room 156
Chris Cook, Commissioner of Boston Parks & Recreation, invites the community to a meeting for renovations to Children’s Wharf Park on Wednesday, February 10, 2016 from 6 pm – 8 pm at Boston Children’s Museum – Business Entrance, 308 Congress St. As part of the Boston Parks and Recreation Departments continuing efforts to provide quality open space and recreation areas for use and enjoyment by all residents of the city, efforts are underway to make improvements to Children’s Wharf Park, located at 64 Sleeper Street. The Parks Department is very interested in what the community has to contribute to the design process. The newly designed park will be an inclusive play area and waterfront park in honor of Martin Richard. All are encouraged to attend.
They do this same thing in Long Beach, CA and it’s not only wildly popular, but having lived there they do a real good job of making it as if the race wasn’t there and completely transforming it into a great venue. Before I get bashed, which I’m sure I will anyway, I was against the Olympics but, I’ve been to one of these city events first hand and they could be well run.
