  • Piers Park is a public park owned by Massport located on the southwest side of East Boston, overlooking Boston Harbor and downtown Boston. Designed by Pressley Associates Landscape Architects of Boston, the 6.5-acre (2.6 ha) park was conceived to reclaim a condemned industrial pier for recreational use, allowing residents and visitors direct access to the waterfront. The park consists of multiple trails paved in brick and granite from the pier's original 1870 seawalls; native salt-tolerant New England plants; more than thirty-two tree varieties; seasonal flowers; ornamental shrubs; and a 600-foot (180 m) meandering brick pedestrian promenade with four smaller shade pavilions. One of the pavilions is dedicated to ship-builder Donald McKay; the largest pavilion is the Commons Pavilion, commissioned by MassPort to "pay tribute to the neighborhood's immigrant history," with twenty-four granite panels by artist William Reimann. There is also a play area and spray pool for children; a small exercise station; an amphitheater; and a community boating program, Piers Park Sailing Center. The park is slated for expansion in two further stages of development, phase II and phase III, which are proposed to increase the park's land area to 11+-acres. (en)
