The Moakley Park Resilience Plan radically transforms a single-use recreational facility into a resilient, inclusive, and multi-faceted 21st century community park. Abutting 30 acres of waterfront in South Boston, this 60-acre park is a critical missing link in Olmsted’s Emerald Necklace. Accessible by public transportation and within 15 minutes of a very diverse set of neighborhoods, Moakley is poised to address the city’s most pressing climate resilience, social justice, and community health and welfare priorities.
