QUINCY STREET PARK REOPENS WITH RIBBON CUTTING JAN. 24th

Designed by Weston Sampson Engineers
and WANTED Landscape Architecture, renovations began in fall of 2012 and the
park now incorporates three levels of planted terraces, a stepping stone path that
incorporates recycled granite curb from the nearby Somerville Avenue
reconstruction project, an Adirondack Chair seating area, and more. Materials
for the durable, all-weather wood boardwalk were donated by the Eastman Company.
           

"It's great to have such an intimate
and beautiful woodland space so near our urban center,  In a densely populated urban community, our
green and open spaces are extremely valuable, and we're proud to continue to be
able to renovate and add to those spaces citywide," said Mayor Curtatone.
"Spaces like these allow our residents to breathe freely and enjoy more social
activities. These added amenities only make the experience that much more
intimate and pleasant."

"So far, we've had a pretty mild
autumn and winter, and I'm hopeful that the weather will continue to allow
residents to get out and enjoy this new and beautifully renovated open space
earlier than even we anticipated," said Alderman Heuston.   "This
park has always been a neighborhood gem, tucked away in a residential area, but
with the upgrades it's received over the last few months, it shines a little brighter
and provides more opportunities for residents of all ages to enjoy it, safely,
year round."
