520 _aMoakley Park, a 60-acre community park in South Boston, floods regularly; even minimal rain events cause the playing fields to become unusable and unsafe. Coupled with the fact that Boston’s largest waterfront park sits at a critical breach point for South Boston and with a projected 21-36” in sea level rise, the park becomes a major flood pathway inundating adjacent neighborhoods, including two low-income housing developments. With this reality in mind, City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department and the Environment Department commissioned a vision plan for the park that would not only address critical climate resiliency issues, but would turn Moakley Park into an exemplary 21st-century open space with a focus on equity, diversity, community and of course enviable recreational amenities.
