whna | DCR meeting: Draw 7 park improvements (Reply)

I had heard there would be upcoming discussions about the Draw 7 park area, and I just got this notice by email. Draw 7 park is the area along the river, past the part we know of as Baxter Park at Assembly, and runs along the river and abuts the Amelia Earhart Dam. Kind of behind the T station and the parking garages towards Everett.

Anyway--it's a little far from Winter Hill proper, perhaps, but is good green space opportunity and convenient from the boathouse area. I do want to know what's going on over there and I use Baxter a lot now. If this was cleaned up it could be nice.
