Description

“Paul Revere Park, the first of the New Charles River Basin, opened to accolades in the summer of 1999. The design centers on a large multiuse oval lawn framed by extensive perennial beds. At the Charlestown end of the oval is a simple grass stage for informal performances. A serpentine ramp and stairs, flanking a stone overlook tower, connect the

park to the revived City Square in Charlestown and a walkway across the new dam and locks connects to the Boston Garden arena and downtown Boston. The design process included coordination with a complex network of participants: the Central Artery Tunnel Project, Massachusetts Highway Department, a Citizens Advisory Committee, and the Charlestown Community.”
