Moakley Park Vision Plan
The Vision Plan was the first step in a long-term effort to redesign Moakley Park. Our goal is to increase recreational opportunities and respond to coastal flooding risks.
In the first phase of Resilient Moakley Park, we worked in with community groups to create a new vision for Moakley Park. Our goal was to balance recreational needs with community gathering spaces and flooding protection.
You can see the results of our work below. Track progress and contribute to the ongoing redesign effort on our Moakley Park page.
