As you might have noticed up river, MIT is rebuilding their boathouse. This spring, while MIT renovates, their students will row out of the park—just behind the swimming pool.
Both Cambridge and DCR have given MIT necessary permissions and the Riverside Boat Club, good neighbors, will accommodate the new influx of college rowers. MIT will just be at the park through June. See sad, existing conditions above and where MIT rowers will be below. (We really need to get rid of that sunken parking lot!)
Also, this spring at the park:
*The City will be planting some new trees!!!!!!!!
*3rd grade CPS students will start engaging in a river study using Magazine Beach as base.
*We’ll host the big Earth Day Cleanup Saturday April 25–contact the Charles River Conservancy’s Sasha Vallieres to register at svallieres@thecharles.org.
*Around May 31, DCR will take down the protective fence blocking off the newly renovated shoreline path and Powder Magazine.
