Primary Project Type

Parks and Green Space

Christopher Columbus Park and Long Wharf are waterfront neighbors. Parks and Planning are working together with communities to create a design for how this key piece of Boston’s public waterfront can be a resilient, welcoming and accessible experience.

Building off the Planning Department’s Resilient Long Wharf project, our collaboration will look more closely at the park and the connection between park and wharf, to find opportunities for resilience and creativity.
