Join Somerville's Boynton Yards Park Ribbon Cutting Celebration

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne and the Somerville Office of Strategic Planning & Community Development invite the community to the ribbon cutting ceremony for 808 Windsor Street and Boynton Yards Park on Thursday, November 14 at 2 p.m. 

EVENT DETAILS:

• When: Thursday, November 14, 2 p.m.
• Where: Boynton Yards Park, Between 101 South Street and 808 Windsor Street.

The event will be held in the new half-acre park designed to bring community and vitality to Boynton Yards. The civic space features a splash pad, central lawn, native planting beds, and thoughtfully designed amenities to create an inviting public gathering space for neighborhood residents, workers, and visitors alike. 

Boynton Yards Park is one of three planned civic spaces that will total over two new acres of accessible, sustainably designed public areas in the Boynton Yards neighborhood’s full build-out. It is one of a few recently finished Somerville parks that is setting a new standard for development-born public spaces. 

The new building, 808 Windsor Street is a Leed Platinum, purpose-built building spanning 11 floors and offering state-of-the-art R&D lab/office space and ground floor retail. Amenities include below grade parking, a bike storage room, gym and locker room facilities, conference room and outdoor terrace. 808 Windsor is the second of four master planned life science buildings at Boynton Yards, spanning 7 acres and including residential, retail, arts, and public spaces. Boynton Yards is a short walk from the Union Square T station. 

Please join in celebrating this milestone in the development of a vibrant city neighborhood.
