Happy 2024!

7 Jan

The park is looking beautiful with its first snow of the year. 

Update: See our 2023 MBP Annual Report here.

In 2023, Magazine Beach Partners was so grateful to DCR for 

  • a new pool and exercise area at the park!
  • preparing to send Phase II-2 out to bid and working to eliminate the invasive Japanese knotweed along the shoreline in preparation, and
  • most recently, removing the many fallen limbs and branches.

In 2024, we look forward to 

  • Phase II-2 construction beginning (turning the sunken parking lot between the pool and the river into a grassy beach and adding a dock and outlook)
  • planting more trees 
  • adding more stones at the canoe/kayak launch, and
  • posting our interpretive markers!

We are well aware that Magazine Beach is 17 acres of the State’s portfolio of almost 500,000 acres. We’re thrilled for their attention at the park. It is a living tapestry. 

We are also so grateful to Mass Audubon and the Charles River Conservancy for their partnership. Go here, to learn about Mass Audubon’s upcoming programs: Wildlife Tracking (1.13) Bird Walk (1.20), and Nature Detectives (1.25). And. thank you, the CRC, for organizing 12 clean ups at the park in 2023! Finally, thanks to all of you who volunteered at the park (picking up trash and putting so many sticks in piles!) or donated to Magazine Beach Partners and our partners!

Working together, we get things done! Look for our annual report here by early February. See photos of late December storm damage below.
