The renovations included a multipurpose softball field with a small soccer field in the outfield.  Amenities include shaded dugouts, LED lighting, ball netting, drinking fountains, and bleachers. Inclusive play area for kids of all abilities, including roller table, cozy cocoon spinner, slides and musical instruments. Introduced traffic calming strategies for the access drive to the DCR parking lot and Dorchester Yacht Club to slow cars down, and so much more!

 

In December 2016, the City of Boston’s Climate Ready Boston report, laid out a long-term framework for preparing Boston for the effects of climate change. After studying various alternatives that kept inclusion and accessibility at the forefront of the design, the final site plan accommodated high water events in the field, and raised the grade of the parking lot and Springdale Street to deflect water from the abutters.
