Moakley Park Virtual Open House - October 27th, 2020

A
So
if
you
could
advance
the
slide
great
so
interpretation,
we,
we
are
often
able
to
offer
interpretation
and
translation
of
our
materials
tonight.
No
one
has
requested
interpretation,
so
this
meeting
will
only
be
in
english.
However,
for
future
engagement,
please
know
we're
really
eager
to
hear
all
voices
and
are
able
to
offer
interpretation
upon
request.
A
A
A
This
is
different
from
our
past
so
before
we
would
come
in
and
have
an
open
house
where
we
would
present,
and
then
we
would
break
out
into
different
focus
stations
so
that
we
could
have
a
more
personal
conversation
with
you
and
well
tonight.
We're
really
going
to
be
focusing
on
the
question
and
answer
discussion
following
this
event.
A
So
this
this
talk
series
will
be
more
open
format,
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
see
everyone
and
kind
of
dive
down
into
the
deeper
details,
aspects
of
what
you're
really
interested
in.
But
tonight
it's
going
to
be
more
of
a
presentation
and
the
question
and
answer
so
I
I
really
appreciate
you
trying
these
new
formats
with
us
we're.
C
A
This
is
what
we're
dealing
with
right:
we're
trying
to
manage
work
and
managing
family.
So
thank
you
for
the
interruption.
Yes,
so
we
just
because
we
can't
see
you
doesn't
mean
that
we
don't
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
to
us.
So
if
you
are
on
your
computer
or
tablet
at
the
bottom
of
your
screen,
you'll
see
a
question
and
answer.
A
If
you
can
send
us
your
questions
that
way,
then
we
can
start
to
grab
them
and
then
at
the
end,
the
moderator
can
ask
your
questions
and
you
can
get
answers
with
those.
If
you
could
include
your
name
and
your
neighborhood
with
your
question.
That'd
be
really
helpful
to
us
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
on
the
phone,
you
can
just
go
ahead
and
text
me.
You
can
text
my
phone
number,
which
is.
A
A
A
A
D
Thank
you
allison,
and
thank
you
to
the
whole
team
that
has
worked
hard
on
this
project
from
at
least
2015,
if
not
earlier,
on
this
exceptional
project.
So
thank
you,
everyone.
My
name
is
ryan
woods
born
and
raised
here
in
dorchester
and
played
many
years
of
mayor's
cup
and
other
sports
at
moakley
park.
So
consider
this
to
be
one
of
my
close
neighborhood
parks
so
really
excited
about
this
project.
D
D
You
all
saw
in
2019,
we
released
the
vision
plan
and
since
then,
we've
listened
we've
learned
and
we
took
the
feedback
to
come
up
with
an
improved
plan.
We've
moved
some
fields
and
amenities
based
on
community
feedback,
and
we
came
up
with
this
mockley
park.
Preliminary
design
we're
able
to
meet
with
elected
officials,
neighborhood
sports
groups,
the
south
boston,
non-profits
residents
and
even
went
on
a
tour
having
events
in
the
park
going
to
the
south
boston
street
festival
unity
day.
Anything
that
was
held
surrounding.
D
D
The
design
is
based
on
access,
grading
utilities,
tree
retainment
adjacent
streets,
and
there
are
some
small
changes
that
can
be
made
to
ensure
the
design
continues
to
improve.
We'll
con
continue
to
come
back
to
the
community
as
the
design
is
prioritized
into
phases
based
on
funding.
So,
as
the
funding
comes
in,
it
may
be
two
phases,
it
could
be
five
phases,
but
this
is
something
that
we're
going
to
work
for
the
community
on
every
single
phase.
D
To
make
sure
we
get
the
design
right
and
that's
when
we
can
look
at
the
more
finite
details
of
the
park,
whether
it's
the
color,
the
playground,
equipment,
specialty,
features,
cement,
pads,
fencing,
etc.
That's
what
we're
going
to
get
into
those
nitty
gritty
details
when
we
go
into
that
phasing
like
I
said
tonight
is
more
the
high
level
design
of
the
park.
D
D
We
want
this
road
to
be
a
scene
instead
of
a
barrier,
and
we
promise
to
work
with
our
state
partners
for
the
best
solutions
along
the
way.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
joining
us.
Thank
you
for
your
advocacy,
your
input
and
your
collaboration
as
we
make
these
much
needed
improvements
to
the
gem
that
is
moakly
park
in
south
boston.
Thank
you.
E
Great.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Woods.
Thank
you,
alison,
hi
folks,
good
evening
to
all
of
you.
Thanks
for
joining
us,
I'm
chris
reed,
I'm
the
guy
with
my
hands
in
the
air
in
the
bottom
left.
It's
been
a
great
pleasure
to
work
with
many
of
you
over
the
last
few
years
and
to
work
with
this
team
to
really
develop
a
project.
That's
exciting!
That
continues
to
involve
evolve
with
your
input
and
is
now
at
a
point
where
we're
excited
to
share
some
of
that
development.
E
E
E
The
technical
team
especially
worked
on
the
preliminary
resilience
design.
So
here
we
were
looking
at
a
lot
of
the
resilience
factors
and
technical
aspects
of
the
project.
What
does
it
mean
to
develop
a
berm
that
allows
for
coastal
flood
protection?
How
do
we
deal
with
stormwater
inundation,
which
we
see
almost
every
storm,
these
days,
et
cetera
et
cetera?
E
F
F
D
F
F
E
E
Great
okay,
given
that
there
are
a
number
of
newcomers,
we'll
start
with
a
quick
overview
of
the
2018
vision
plan,
we'll
talk
to
you
about
some
of
what
we've
been
hearing
from
you
during
the
community
feedback
process
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
technical
analysis
before
we
get
into
the
new
design.
So
this
was
the
2018
vision
plan.
E
We
had
another
event
in
january
of
2020
a
winter
warmer
in
the
park
itself,
and
then
we
also
had
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
seniors
in
south
boston.
Just
before
kovid
shut,
most
of
us
down,
we've
still
continued
to
interact
with
people.
We've
had
a
number
of
surveys
going
out
there
in
digital
format.
E
B
Thank
you,
chris
hello,
everyone.
My
name
is
julie,
I'm
with
weston
and
samson.
I'm
the
lead
resiliency
engineer.
We
came
to
support
stas
in
the
preliminary
resilience,
design,
scope
of
the
fate
of
the
phases
of
the
projects
and
what
we
really
wanted
to
start
with.
Our
technical
analysis
was
really
understanding.
What
are
the
existing
conditions
on
the
site
so
looking
at
what
that
means
from
geotechnical
environmental
stormwater
groundwater
survey,
and
so
that
was
really
the
first
part
of
this
preliminary
resilience.
Design
project
was
looking
at
those
technical
analysis.
B
Some
undocumented
non-engineer
filled
that
had
been
filled
there
over
the
years
as
well
as
harbor
dredged
material,
which
is
what
we
expected
to
see
based
on
the
history
of
the
site
underlying
the
fill
we
saw
either
organics
or
sand
as
the
native
material.
That
was
there,
which
we
again
expected
to
see
based
on
the
history
of
the
site,
being
a
salt
marsh
and
beachy
area.
B
Part
of
these
considerations
is
managing
the
existing
challenges
with
the
soil
conditions
on
the
site,
the
fill
the
organics,
the
clay
and
really
how
should
we
be
reevaluating?
The
flood
management
alignment
in
width
in
height
in
alignment
to
mitigate
some
of
those
challenges
and
protect
that
existing
infrastructure
and
work
with
our
partners,
local
partners
at
boston,
water
and
sewer
and
mwra
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
their
infrastructure.
B
So
part
of
that
include
a
revised
alignment,
we're
still
tying
into
existing
grades
and
also
looking
at
what?
What
are
the
heights
that
we
need
for
flood
protection
and
are
there
lower
heights
that
can
provide
flood
risk
reduction
for
different
elements
of
the
site,
so
different
different
heights
barriers?
So
you
can
see
that
we
have
it
tying
into
the
existing
grades.
B
E
Great
thanks
julie.
This
has
been
really
important
work
for
us,
as
julie
explained,
this
barrier
moved
back
from
the
beach
side
in
part
to
respond
to
some
of
those
underlying
utilities
there.
What
it
gave
us
is
a
little
bit
more
space
between
that
flood
protection,
berm
and
dave
boulevard,
so
that
we
have
a
little
bit
more
waterside
park
if
you
will
than
we
had
before.
So
that's
been
really
helpful
great.
E
Okay,
what
we
heard
this
is
information
coming
directly
from
you
all.
So
thanks
for
that,
what
were
your
two
top
favorite
activities
in
moakley
park
right
now?
Walking
number
one
sports,
unsurprisingly,
number
two
playground
and
kids
activities
and
relaxing
much
of
that
reflects
the
the
types
of
programs
and
activities
that
are
available.
E
Second
question:
what
are
your
top
two
concerns
from
oakley
park
right
now?
First,
poor
lighting.
This
of
course
goes
hand
in
hand
with
safety
concerns,
and
we've
heard
you
loud
and
clear
on
that
and
you'll
be
seeing
how
we
have
started
to
address
that
close,
close
second
flooded
fields
after
rain.
One
of
the
first
things
we
need
to
do
with
some
of
those
existing
athletic
facilities
is
really
upgrade
the
quality
of
them
so
that
they're
not
flooded
out
and
can
be
used
more
regularly.
E
Third,
we
heard
concerns
about
poor
access
and
poor
circulation.
So
how
can
we
better
improve
the
crossings
to
the
park
and
then
circulation
throughout
the
park?
So
more
people
can
be
there
and
fourth
concerns
about
coastal
flooding,
which
of
course,
the
park
and
the
berm
will
begin
to
address
as
well.
E
Then
we
asked
you:
okay,
if
you
think
forward
what
are
the
five
future
improvements
that
you
would
most
enjoy,
seeing
in
moakley
park
going
forward,
and
you
can
see,
we've
got
a
lot
of
great
answers.
The
top
four
are
really
almost
a
dead
heat,
so
seasonal
events,
things
that
happen
in
the
summer
in
the
fall
spring
winter,
so
that
there's
year-round
activity.
E
E
In
addition
to
that,
we
heard
other
recommendations
and
thoughts.
You
know
one
of
the
things
we
heard
is
in
the
vision
plan.
We
had
proposed
moving
the
football
field
and
the
track
to
the
northern
part
of
the
park,
but
we
heard
you
know
what.
Maybe
that's
not
such
a
good
idea.
We
really
needed
it
closer
to
the
t.
Stops.
E
All
of
that
input's
been
super
helpful
for
us
and
with
the
parks
department,
staff
has
helped
us
really
develop
a
series
of
project
goals
for
the
park.
So
as
we
move
forward,
moakley
park
will
first
be
a
park.
That's
about
recreation
and
play
foster,
fostering
highly
engaging
and
active
landscapes
with
high
quality
sports
fields,
multi-functional
facilities
and
dynamic
play
environments-
importantly
scattered
throughout
the
park.
E
Second,
public
health
and
community
well-being.
How
do
we
develop
the
park
as
a
community-centered
program
or
set
of
programs
that
will
strengthen
physical
wellness,
environmental
health
and
social
connection
by
having
safe
walkable
connections
to
the
park
and
to
the
beach
spaces
for
large
and
small
community
gathering
and
amenities
that
encourage
active
lifestyles?
E
Third
resiliency
in
the
environment?
How
do
we
create
a
safe
and
climate
resilient
park
in
multiple
ways
dealing
with
coastal
and
storm
water,
flooding
management
for
current
and
future
conditions
dealing
with
the
urban
heat
island
effect
in
the
middle
of
summer?
It's
really
hot
out
there,
because
there
aren't
that
many
trees,
so
we
want
to
increase
tree
canopy
and
increase
biodiversity.
That
means
just
a
healthier
ecosystem
and
environment.
E
And,
finally,
how
do
we
build
in
sustainable
practices
in
operations
and
design
in
access?
Fourth,
and
really
something
that
that
that
is
broad,
reaching
inclusion
and
access?
How
do
we
provide
safe
and
equitable
access
to
open
space
to
boston's
waterfront,
to
community
resources,
athletics
and
events
for
all
ages,
all
abilities
and
all
backgrounds?
So
it's
really
the
four
pillars
that
we're
building
this
park
around,
and
this
is
the
revised
plan.
This
is
an
overview.
E
Looking
out
to
boston,
harbor
preble
circle
is
here
in
the
foreground:
k-circle
downways
and
then
continuation
along
the
south
boston,
waterfront,
you'll
notice.
We
still
have
four
primary
rooms
for
sporting
events
at
the
heart
of
the
park.
Although
we've
switched
some
things
around
and
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
minute,
those
sport
fields
are
surrounded
by
multiple
pathways
and
trees
and
other
activities
that
we've
packed
in
there.
E
E
Sport
courts,
a
quieter
leisure
play
for
elders,
basketball
and
fitness
areas,
hills
and
climbing
areas
for
active
play.
A
skate
park
down
on
the
southern
end
near
the
state
police
barracks
nature
base
play
informal
play
just
hanging
out
on
slopes
an
area
for
swings
water
play
again
closer
to
the
waterfront,
a
big
area
in
the
center
of
the
park
for
creative
play
and
again
additional
areas
for
flexible
and
nature-based
play
along
day,
boulevard
events
and
programmings.
These
are
spaces
that
can
host
some
of
those
year-round
events
and
also
some
of
those
music
and
cultural
events.
E
We've
got
a
lot
of
waterfront
and
picnic
and
barbecue
spaces
along
day
boulevard
again.
The
waterfront
amphitheater
shaded
gathering
areas
so
that
the
parents
of
kids
who
are
out
there
playing
in
the
hot
sun
can
at
least
have
a
little
bit
of
relief
from
the
sun,
a
picnic
plaza,
rooftop
hangouts,
more
shaded
gathering
areas
really
scattered
throughout
and
then
importantly,
landscape
and
ecological
spaces.
E
A
lot
of
new
storm
water
marshes,
nature
walks,
nature
trails
places,
particularly
along
the
coastal
edge
near
day,
boulevard
for
bird
watching,
perhaps
more
woodland
spaces
on
the
interior,
with
high
canopy
trees
that
you
can
see
under
storm
water
meadows,
orchards,
gardens,
etc,
etc.
So
really
having
this
very
active
park,
but
also
having
these
really
beautiful
landscape
spaces
that
allow
for
shade
and
biodiversity
and
places
for
people.
E
Importantly,
too,
a
whole
number
of
new
building
facilities
and
parking.
So
again,
starting
with
that
community
building
with
restrooms
we've
heard
a
lot
from
people
needing
restrooms
scattered
throughout
the
park.
I'm
with
you
on
that
front,
so
we've
got
a
new
community
building
here
with
restrooms
shelter,
operations
and
maintenance.
This
is
full-time
on-site
operations
and
maintenance
staff
so
that
there
are
always
people
at
the
park
to
help
you,
but
also
that
will
be
taking
care
of
the
park.
A
number
of
picnic
shelters
again
for
additional
shade
sports
headquarters.
E
Building
kind
of,
like
you
know,
done
a
field
house
back
in
the
day,
but
this
time
located
centrally
and
updated.
So
that
has
the
best
facilities
and
really
is
at
that
center
of
the
park.
A
destination
building
that
overlooks
the
stadium,
overlooks
the
little
league
fields
and
has
views
out
to
the
water
can
be
used
for
events
and
food
and
then,
at
the
southern
end
again
an
info
center
restroom,
building
and
areas
for
sport,
equipment,
storage
located.
E
Throughout
importantly,
we're
also
doubling
the
amount
of
parking
within
the
park
and
locating
them
at
key
places
that
are
make
those
sports
fields
and
some
of
those
other
destinations
accessible.
So
this
one
over
here
near
the
stadium
and
the
little
league
fields
is
really
in
the
same
location
as
the
existing
one.
We're
adding
a
new
one
at
the
community,
building
right
near
to
the
cluster
of
soccer
fields,
we're
adding
parking
up
at
the
north
near
to
the
baseball
and
then
another
one
down
off
of
day
boulevard.
E
That
gives
you
again
access
both
to
the
stadium
to
that
event,
destination,
building
and
the
little
league
fields
and,
of
course,
the
existing
parking
that
happens
along
day,
boulevard
and,
finally,
and
importantly,
new
lighting
throughout
the
park.
That
really
extends
the
hours
of
the
park
allows
more
people
to
be
in
the
park
later
at
night
and
really
create
some
some
wonderful
safety
factors
as
well.
All
the
fields
will
be
illuminated
at
night,
so
you'll
have
very
bright
areas
at
the
center
of
the
park
beckoning.
E
Again,
this
is
the
big
overview
for
the
park,
and,
importantly
again,
you
can
see
that
flood
control,
the
black
dash
line,
was
the
old
flood
control
from
the
2018
plan.
And
what
you're
seeing
in
red
is
the
new,
more
refined,
economical
flood
management.
That's
really
part
of
integrated
as
part
of
the
hills
and
slopes
within
the
park
itself.
E
E
Great
all
right:
well,
thanks,
that's
really
helpful
and
what
we're
seeing
is
is
no
strong
preference
for
just
one
thing:
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
preferences
for
a
lot
of
different
kinds
of
activities
and
that
kind
of
marries
up
with
some
of
the
feedback
you've
already
been
giving
us,
which
is
terrific.
So
thanks.
E
Okay,
I
want
to
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
with
you
and
so
we'll
now
break
the
part
down
geographically,
and
we
can
look
at
each
of
the
different
pieces
in
a
little
bit
more
detail.
We're
first
going
to
look
at
what
we're
calling
the
city
edge
so
that
that
highly
programmed
area
all
along
the
west
and
north
sides
of
the
park
and
then
we'll
have
some
questions.
E
We'll
then
move
from
there
into
what
we're
calling
the
the
creston
core
the
center
of
the
park,
the
crest
being
the
crest
of
the
flood
berm
there
and
then
finally,
we'll
look
at
the
coastal
park
in
a
bit
more
detail
as
well.
Let's
start
with
the
city
edge,
so
again,
the
city
edge.
The
whole
idea
here
is
that
you
have
a
whole
series
of
activity
areas
that
are
available
to
you.
E
Now,
importantly,
having
these
things
directly
accessible
to
the
immediately
adjacent
neighborhoods
is
really
really
important.
So
you
see
mary
ellen
mccormick
here
old
colony.
Here
you
see
access
from
the
harbor
walk
and
from
other
parts
of
southie
here
as
well,
and
the
whole
idea
is
as
soon
as
you
cross.
The
street
there
are
a
series
of
different
activity
areas.
Some
of
those
were
aiming
at
small
kids,
so
some
of
the
smaller
play
areas,
for
instance,
and
the
the
interactive
water
features.
E
Some
were
aiming
at
older
kids
like
street
hockey
and
places
to
hang
out
and
basketball
somewhere.
Where
really
aiming
at
everybody
like
the
market
and
event,
space
where
you
might
have
a
farmer's
market
or
a
cultural
festival,
and
then
some
of
it
too,
we're
aiming
at
elders.
So
things
like
leisure
play,
water,
gardens,
sitting
areas,
areas
where
you
can
view
some
of
the
sports
activities.
E
Like
you
see,
along
comm
ave
in
boston-
and
importantly,
this
was
one
of
the
important
feedback
elements
and
changes
that
we've
made
remember
in
the
old
vision
plan.
We
had
a
lot
of
these
activities
really
clustered
at
one
corner
of
the
park
and
what
we
heard
was
look
we'd
rather
have
them
spread
out.
They
really
need
to
be
accessible
to
more
people
and
to
have
more
of
them
throughout
the
park,
and
so
we've
really
kind
of
taken.
E
What
was
that
one
cluster
and
distributed
it
along
the
full
edge
and
then
we've
added
in
other
things,
as
well
all
under
this
tall
canopy
of
trees?
So
this
is
a
view
now,
looking
north
old
colony
is
on
the
left
and
mary
ellen
mccormick
is
is
just
behind
those
trees
on
the
left.
So
we
have
a
raised
bicycle
path
here
we
have
a
tree-lined
community
path,
with
lots
of
benches
for
seating
and
lots
of
wide
areas
for
walking
a
running
track.
E
That
actually
goes
all
the
way
around
the
park,
areas
for
plaza,
seating
and
then
flexible
program,
spaces
which
might
have
gardens
or
basketball
courts
or
water
gardens
or
game
tables,
or
even
additional
ideas
that
we'll
get
into
in
the
coming
weeks.
With
you
from
there,
you
can
see
how
close
it
is
to
some
of
the
new
planted
areas
and
and
some
of
the
new
ball
fields.
So
the
idea
is
to
create
this
very
active
edge
with
layered
activities
that
bring
you
directly
into
the
park.
F
E
F
E
E
Okay,
the
next
section,
the
core
in
the
crest,
the
core
of
the
park,
the
the
center
of
the
park
and
then
the
crest
you
can
see
in
yellow
where
that
flood
protection
berm
is
so
that's
integrated
hills
within
the
landscape.
So
again,
you've
got
the
four
athletic
rooms.
This
beautiful
new
baseball
field
at
the
north
end
of
the
park
with
the
operations
and
maintenance
building
and
some
great
new
spectator
areas,
you've
got
the
soccer
and
multi-use
field,
surrounded
by
basketball
and
tennis
courts
and
a
big
creative
play
area.
E
You've
also
got
tucked
in
here
around
other
spaces,
right
shaded
areas
for
sitting
and
picnicking
and
watching
the
games
other
play
spaces
for
community
gathering
and
play
for
play
of
all
ages
and
all
abilities
and
also
places
where
other
kinds
of
gatherings
can
happen.
Some
regular
movie
nights
during
the
summer
or
areas
that
can
host
different
kinds
of
performances
and
events.
E
Again,
this
was
from
the
2018
vision
plan
again
noting
how
the
stadium,
at
the
time
at
the
north
was
too
far
so
we've
switched
that
around
and
what
you
have
now
in
the
new
updated
plan.
We've
got
baseball
again
those
soccer
fields,
and
you
can
see
the
the
activity
areas
that
surround
it.
The
little
league
fields
and
the
stadium
all
have
great
new
spectator
areas,
lots
of
pathways.
E
Here
we
retain
some
of
that
existing
seating
and
upgrade
it
so
that
it's
nicer
quality
repair
it
we
rotate
the
football
field
and
the
track
so
that
it's
parallel
with
the
west
side
seating.
You
might
know
that
what
this
was
originally
set
up
as
a
baseball
field
and
what
we
wanted
to
create
was
a
better
spectator
experience
here
by
bringing
the
the
field
closer
and
orienting
it
properly.
E
We
then
create
new
seating
terraces
on
the
east
side
and
the
south
side,
and
then
a
series
of
lawn
areas
behind
the
seating
again,
one
on
the
east
side,
one
on
the
west
side
that
will
allow
for
people
to
picnic
and
hang
out
casually
to
watch
the
games
they're
great
for
sunbathing.
You
know
so
much
fitness
activity
happens
when
you're
not
having
organized
sports
activities
so
being
able
to
hang
out
and
watch.
E
Those
activities
is
really
really
important,
and
hopefully
these
will
also
allow
for
that
stadium
to
be
used
for
larger
scale,
movie
nights
or
performances
and
events
and
and
with
some
of
the
refurbished
seating.
You're
gonna
get
some
great
views,
then,
to
the
beach
and
to
the
harbor
as
well.
So
we're
really
exciting
about
how
we
might
upgrade
the
quality
of
experience
here
at
saunders,
stadium,
okay,
merritt.
E
F
Is
the
number
yeah
I
just
want
to
go
through
make
sure
we
chat
about
the
the
results
of
the
poll
here
for
a
moment,
garden
again
is
coming
up
really
popular
47
percent
followed
pretty
closely
behind,
but
the
athletics
events
and
viewing
lawn
and
the
stadium
and
the
soccer
multi-use
are
all
pretty
close.
There.
E
Okay
and
then
the
last
area
of
the
park,
the
coastal
park.
Again,
we
have
an
expanded
area
because
we've
moved
the
the
flood
berm
back
a
little
bit
and
what
the
coastal
park
is
about
is
really
starting
to
feel
like
you're,
really
at
the
seaside,
so
coastal
landscapes,
coastal
marshes,
walking
trails,
boardwalks,
a
new
multi-use
field
and
family
play
area
right
close
to
the
waterfront
here
this
again
coming
from
the
feedback
that
you've
given
us
a
number
of
different
picnic
and
barbecue
areas.
E
An
additional
landscape
areas
to
the
south
bird
watching
is
going
to
be
popular
here,
just
being
able
to
get
out
into
a
rich
coastal
landscape
where
you're
still
feeling
like
you're,
surrounded
by
activity,
and
so
the
character
is
really.
This
combination
of
social
areas
and
more
natural
areas.
So
barbecue
and
picnic
areas
places
for
spreading
a
blanket
out
on
the
lawn
for
throwing
a
frisbee
for
flying
a
kite,
a
interactive
water
element,
a
kind
of
garden
amphitheater.
E
If
you
will
for
different
kinds
of
activities
and
lots
of
places
for
bird
watching
and
simply
just
enjoying
nature
on
the
waterfront
there.
This
is
a
view
looking
south
carson
beach
here
is
on
the
left
day.
Boulevard
here
is
open,
as
you
can
see,
and
then
within
the
park
we've
got.
The
the
blue
line
is
the
the
running
track.
That
goes
all
the
way
around
the
park,
and
then
here
in
the
foreground
are
some
of
those
coastal
landscapes
and
boardwalk
areas
with
clusters
of
trees
and
bird
habitat.
E
A
number
of
picnic
areas
overlooking
the
family
lawn
additional
picnic
areas-
and
this
is
the
waterfront
amphitheater
I'll,
show
you
in
a
moment
and
then
going
on,
and
you
can
see
how
close
they
are
to
some
of
the
other
activity
areas
and
sport
fields
within
the
park.
This.
This
tan
pathway
here
is
really
on
the
crest
of
that
berm
and
gives
you
great
views
to
the
water,
but
also
great
views
to
some
of
the
sports
fields
as
well.
E
This
is
a
view
at
the
northern
end
of
that,
near
that
family
flex
field
so
again,
day.
Boulevard,
open
here,
walking
paths,
running
paths,
small
areas
for
community
events
and
gathering
the
family
lawn
for
throwing
frisbees
picnic
areas
and
then
some
of
those
coastal
marsh
landscapes-
and
you
can
see
here
the
landscape's,
actually
rolling
and
then
comes
up
the
slope
and
the
hill
to
allow
for
the
flood
protection
that
rolling
nature.
E
Here
we
imagine
this
great
space
with
an
interactive
water
feature,
a
plaza
for
farmers,
markets
or
festivals,
shaded,
seating
areas
and
all
that-
and
you
can
see
how
the
the
amphitheater
steps
up
here.
This
is
a
space.
That's
going
to
be
fantastic
for
different
kinds
of
events
and
activities,
so
the
opportunity
to
have
seasonal
events
and
performances
occupy
this
space
as
well,
but
it
also
importantly
helps
with
the
flood
protection.
E
So
at
those
moments,
after
sea
level
rise
happens
and
we
get
a
big
storm
and
an
inundation
from
the
storm
momentarily
areas
like
this
are
gonna
double
as
that
flood
protection
and
then
within
a
day
or
two
things
will
dry
up.
The
water
will
recede
and
this
part
of
the
park
will
go
back
to
normal
operations,
so
really
exciting.
To
have
this
new
activity
area
that
really
doubles
as
flood
infrastructure.
E
E
F
F
The
second
one
will
be
about
community
and
play
on
november
17th,
and
then
the
third
one
will
be
about
public
health
and
the
environment
on
the
24th
and
we're
going
to
go
through
a
few
questions
here.
So
you
can
get
a
chance
to
see
exactly
what
we
mean
by
these
topics,
engage
sort
of
your
interest
within
these
there's
a
lot
to
dig
into
on
this
park
and
a
lot
even
within
these
topics
that
we've
selected.
F
E
F
Yep
so
that
multi-use
field
is
coming
up
on
top
and
then
we're
gonna,
I'm
gonna
try
to
move
quickly
here
through
these
next
ones.
We
could
make
that
pull
go
a
little
bit
shorter,
so
we
can
get
through
and
then
for
community
and
play.
This
meeting
will
be
really
about
all
the
different
types
of
play
that
we've
outlined
here
today.
F
F
F
E
C
F
C
E
That's
terrific,
listen,
we're
gonna
move
into
q,
a
for
the
next
few
minutes.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
feedback
that
you've
been
giving
us
tonight
over
the
last
many
many
months
and
years.
I
think
it's
really
had
an
impact
on
the
way
we've
configured
things
in
the
park,
redesigned
and
really
added
more
and
more
program.
F
Yeah,
so
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
questions
here
tonight.
I
don't
think
we'll
be
able
to
get
to
all
of
them
in
the
next
20
minutes.
We
have
a
stop
at
7
30,
but
we
are
committed
to
answering
all
those
questions,
so
we
will
be
putting
everything
on
the
website
with
a
response
after
the
meeting-
and
I
will
try
to
we've-
got
a
lot
of
questions
on
sort
of
related
topics.
I'll
try
to
do
my
best
to
capture
some
of
those
and
consolidate.
So
we
can
get
a
lot
of
those
answers.
F
F
E
Yeah,
so
the
whole
edge
of
the
park,
you
can
see
that
blue
line,
so
the
blue
line
is
a
running
track.
That
goes
all
the
way
around
the
park,
but
between
the
blue
line
and
the
street
are
our
pathways
for
walking
with
lots
of
benches
there'll,
be
a
bike
trail
again
that
loops
all
the
way
around
the
park
and
then
different
activity
areas.
So
you
can
see
they're.
E
Almost
these
triangular
shaped
zones
along
the
edge
of
the
park
that
wiggle
back
and
forth,
and
each
of
those
triangles
will
have
different
kinds
of
activities
in
them.
So
one
may
have
basketball
and
fitness
and
hangout
spaces
like
this.
One
here
interactive
play
elements
here,
skate
park
more
at
the
southern
end
of
the
site,
where
we
really
want
to
use
the
skatepark
to
activate
some
of
that
leftover
area
between
the
stadium
and
the
state
police
barracks.
E
A
F
Great
and
alison,
I
will
give
this
next
question
to
you.
We
got
a
number
of
questions
about
buildings.
I'll
start
with
this
one:
are
there
any
municipal
or
local
non-profits
engaged
in
the
planning
and
design
of
the
community
building?
I'm
wonder
wondering
if
something
like
a
farmer's
market
or
school
field
trip
has
a
specific
programmatic
need.
A
All
right:
well,
that's
a
really
great
question,
an
exciting
question.
So,
right
now
we
are
just
showing
placeholders
for
the
buildings
and
again
we're
looking
forward
to
working
with
the
community
to
figure
out.
What's
the
the
best
thing
for
those
buildings,
we've
heard
some
some
input
so
far,
but
we're
looking
to
engage
more
and
we
really
see
this
park
as
a
way
for
us
to
help
the
community
connect
with
so
many
community
services
that
are
within
their
surrounding
the
park.
A
Just
this
whole
engagement
process
has
been
eye-opening
and
meeting
how
many
amazing
community
organizations
are
here
and
then
there's
so
many
community
members
that
don't
even
know
that
they
have
these
services
available
to
them.
So
we're
hoping
that
you
know,
maybe
some
of
these
community
buildings
can
help
connect
people
to
those
to
your
organizations
and
we're
looking
forward
to
kind
of
working
with
you
and
thinking
about
partnerships
and
thinking
about
ideas
together.
So
yes,
we,
you
know
great
ideas
and
we
want
to
kind
of
continue
that
conversation.
F
And
then,
following
up
on
the
other
building
questions,
there
was
one
about
the
destination
building,
whether
or
not
it
will
have
a
full
kitchen
and
concession
stands.
And
then
there
was
a
couple
of
questions
about
existing
buildings
within
the
park
and
on
carson
beach.
If
you
could
speak
to
those
as
well.
A
Sure
so
I'm
just
going
to
remind
everyone
that
this
plan
is,
you
know
likely.
A
phase
plan
will
happen
over
here.
So
again,
the
events
building
is
just
yeah
forth
and
we're
interested
to
kind
of
develop
this
further.
I
think
there's
certain
things
that
we
have
to
think
about
before
we
want
to
spend
any
more
time
designing.
A
A
Talked
about
concessions
within
the
park.
We've
talked
about
cafes,
so
all
these
ideas
are
on
the
table
and
you
know
we're
again
just
kind
of
trying
to
push
the
governance
piece
a
little
bit
further
until
we
kind
of
figure
out
exactly
what's
going
to
be
in
those
buildings
and
then
in
terms
of
the
carson
beach
buildings.
Yes,
it's
an
amazing
property
and
we
are.
A
We
are
working
closely
with
dcr
to
think
about
this
space
as
one
open
space
and
how
they
work
together
and
support
each
other.
So
we
certainly
aren't
just
kind
of
holding
the
blind
eye
over
to
the
carson
beach
because
we
do
feel
like
it's
such
an
amazing
asset
that
should
be
connected
and
we
should
be
thinking
about
it
as
a
whole.
But
again
it
is
a
different.
A
F
F
Is
keeping
the
road
a
done
deal
and
then
how
will
the
coastal
park
be
connected
to
the
beach
with
dave
boulevard?
In
the
way
will
there
be
a
raised
crosswalk
or
traffic
calming
measures
to
keep
it
safe
for
park
visitors
and
a
couple
of
other
questions
or
comments
related
to
that
concerned
about
safety
and
traffic
and
how
that
will
interfere
with
the
park
programming?
D
Sure
I
will
start
so
dave
boulevard
is
a
state-owned
boulevard,
so
the
first
plan
was
our
vision
plan
so
of
what
we
saw,
the
vision
for
the
future
of
moakley
park.
This
is
more
a
preliminary
design
focused
on
the
park,
but
obviously
the
road
plays
an
integral
part.
We
want
that
to
be
more
of
a
seam
instead
of
a
barrier,
so
we
will
work
with
our
state
partners
on
solutions
that
they
have
as
they
improve
that
roadway.
D
E
Sure
thing
you
know
it's
tricky
to
try
to
retrofit
a
park
and
then
take
these
really
big
features
and
and
and
find
a
way
to
deal
with
both
ideal
orientations
and
then
nestling
them
into
a
park
where
we're
also
retaining
as
many
trees
as
possible.
So
you
know
starting
south
to
north.
You
know.
Obviously,
the
football
stadium
track
and
field
will
be
a
refurbishment
of
the
existing
stadium.
That's
already
there.
E
E
The
little
league
and
softball
field,
some
of
the
things
that
we
heard
from
a
lot
of
the
folks
who
deal
with
athletics
and
sports
was
the
real
strong
desire
to
have
this
cloverleaf
so
that
you
can
host
a
tournament
here,
and
this
configuration
really
helps
a
lot
for
how,
when
you're
running
multiple
games.
At
the
same
time,
you
can
have
a
central
area
for
the
administration
of
that
tournament
to
happen.
E
E
But
the
idea
that
again,
it's
clustered
with
some
of
the
other
activities
so
that
you,
you
really
feel
an
energy
when
you're
there.
So
if
you're
there
for
a
game
of
pickup
basketball
or
tennis
with
a
friend
and
a
soccer
game
is
going
on
and
rugby
games
going
on,
you
just
feel
this
great
energy
from
from
those
things
being
together,
and
then
the
baseball
field
fit
really
nicely
at
the
top
of
the
park.
The
orientation
is
ideal
up
there.
E
A
So
you
know
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
have
as
much
multi-functionality
across
the
park
as
possible,
whether
it's
with
sports
or
whether
it's
with
community
gathering
spaces
or
play
so
that
we're
meeting
as
many
needs
as
possible-
and
I
hear
I
hear
you
guys
when
you
say
why:
don't
we
have
more
tennis?
Why
do
we
have
a
dedicated
rugby
field
or
fields
we
want
to
have
tournaments
or
why
don't?
A
We
have
two
baseball
fields
for
tournaments,
and
I
know
those
are
all
really
important
to
those
individual
sports
and
so
we're
trying
to
figure
out
as
we
dive
in
deeper
how
to
think
about
these
spaces
by
that
are
multifunctional.
That
can
then
provide
access
to
several
different
sports,
but
also
you
know,
meet
the
need
that
they
need
to
meet
too
and
not
compromise
some
of
these
too
much
for
a
certain
sport.
A
So
I
think
this
is
a
great
conversation
that
we
can
have
going
into
the
sports
focus,
meeting
and
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
like
how
can
we
overlay
things
to
get
more
use
and
diversify
the
use
within
those
recreational
rooms?
And
so
I
look
forward
to
kind
of
diving
in
a
little
bit
deeper
about
the
specifics
and-
and
I
know,
there's
lots
of
questions
about
the
dimensions
of
the
fields
and
I'm
you
know
happy.
A
E
And
two
other
quick
points
on
the
sports
fields:
one
grading
is
going
to
be
storm,
water
drainage
is
going
to
be
vastly
improved
in
the
parks,
so
the
fields
are
going
to
be
more
usable
and
the
lighting
is
going
to
extend
the
use
of
those
fields
into
the
evening
hours
as
well.
So
overall
you'll
have
it
extended
days
and
you
won't
have
the
interruption
of
flooded
fields.
G
G
F
G
Moakley
have
been
in
existence
for
a
long
time.
We
have
large
residential
populations
in
stable
housing
scenarios
right
around
the
park.
That
we
know
will
greatly
benefit
from
this
park
improvement.
So
moakley
is
not
the
same
context
that
we
see
in
some
other
cities
where
new
parks
are
introduced
in
places
where
there
hasn't
been
open
space
before
I
think
something
to
think
about
is
that
you
know
we
shouldn't
put
ourselves
in
a
position
where
we
want
to
have.
We
think
we
can't
have
both
stable
housing
and
a
nice
park.
G
We
shouldn't
have
to
choose
right.
We
should
be
able
to
invest
in
open
space
in
a
way
that
makes
it
better
for
the
people
who
live
closest
to
it
and
have
access
to
it
so
that
they
can
benefit
from
this
improved
parkland
and
really
listen
to
what
people
are
looking
for,
which
is
the
process
that
we've
been
going
through
with
this
project
so
that
this
park
is,
is
neighbors
and
then
just
adding
to
that.
There
are
departments
in
the
city
that
are
really
focused
on
neighborhood
stability
and
housing.
G
F
Great
thank
you
liza,
and
so
I
think,
there's
just
there's
a
lot
of
great,
actually
great
suggestions
here,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
next
few
weeks.
I
wish
I
could
go
through
all
of
these,
but
a
lot
of
good
ideas
about
different
types
of
program.
We
could
integrate
swings
and
pickleball
and
ice
skating.
F
E
A
multi-use
field
so
that
it
can
be
available
for
multiple
sports
it'll
be
available
for
fitness
activities
and
fitness
classes.
Of
course,
the
track
is
there.
I
go
down
there
a
lot
myself,
I
run
and
bike,
because
our
office
isn't
so
far
away
and
I've
been
seeing.
People
do
all
sorts
of
things.
One
guy
had
some
barbells
out
there.
One
day
with
this
dog,
a
woman
was
dragging
a
big
tire
behind
her
running
around
the
track.
All
that
stuff.
We
want
to
continue.
E
I've
seen
a
lot
of
people
running
up
and
down
the
stairs.
So
that's
great
so
having
having
that
kind
of
activity
tied
into
a
whole
series
of
running
loops
is
really
important,
and
then
what
we'll
show
you
at
the
future
meetings
is
how
that
can
then
be
used
for
other
types
of
events
and
activities
and
performances.
So
we
are
imagining
that
you
could
have
a
concert
there.
E
We
are
imagining
that
you
could
have
special
events
like
fireworks,
but
we're
actually
designing
it
so
that
there
are
probably
different
configurations
for
some
of
those
activities
and
we'll
start
to
detail
that
in
the
coming
weeks,
so
that
you
can
begin
to
see
that.
But
the
idea
of
having
you
know,
formal
steps,
lawn
terraces
and
sloping
lawns
in
combination
is
one
of
the
ideas
that
that
that
helps
to
make
it
flexible.
E
F
Okay-
and
I
think,
unfortunately,
we
are
out
of
time,
but
I
see
that
there,
like,
I
said,
there's
a
lot
of
really
good
input
here,
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
join
us
for
the
upcoming
meetings
where
we'll
be
able
to
have
sort
of
a
deeper
dive
and
things
like
the
skate
park
and
the
running
tracks
and
the
play
areas
like
I
see.
We've
got
a
lot
of
questions
about
those
I
wish
I
could
get
to
all
of
them,
but
looks
like
we.
F
A
A
You
can
go
to
our
website
and
find
the
recording
you
can
find
kind
of
the
plan
there
and
the
the
the
old
division
plan
as
well,
and
then
you'll
also
find
the
the
questions
and
answers
that
we'll
post
up
there
we're
hoping
to
get
that
to
to
that
in
the
next
week
or
so
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
your
time
tonight.
This
was
a
lot
of
information
kind
of
digest.
A
It's
really
an
overview
and
we're
looking
forward
to
the
next
three
meetings
to
get
to
all
of
your
your
questions
and
have
it
more
of
a
conversation
because
it's
really
hard.
Sometimes
I
imagine
that
you
have
follow-up
questions
to
our
answers,
so
I
want
to
give
you
the
ability
to
do
that
again.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming
again.
A
I
want
a
second
eliza
and,
and
the
committee
organizations
and
the
electeds
and
the
sports
groups
have
been
incredible
and
and
reaching
out
to
us
and
engaging
with
us
and
making
sure
that
we
hear
people's
voices
and
we
want
to
continue
to
hear
your
voices,
and
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
the
people
that
you
see
that
are
maybe
missing
from
this
conversation
are
aware
about
moakley
park
and
help
us
connect
with
them.
So
again,
my
email
is
alison.pearlman
at
boston.comgov,
that's
a
l!
A
I
s
o
n
dot,
p
e
r,
l
m,
a
n
boston.gov,
please
reach
out
to
me
and
let
me
know
who's
missing
and
who
we,
you
think
that
we
should
be
talking
to.
So
this
is
very
much
a
community
driven
process
and
I
think
that
we're
really
excited
about
the
plans
and
how
much
work
we've
we've
done
and
we're
excited
to
continue
this
process
with
you
all.
So,
thank
you.
