whna | UPDATED WITH SURVEY LINK | Free kayaking on the Mystic, 9/23/17 (Reply)

I just saw this notice from the Mystic River Water Association. There's a free kayaking event on Saturday Sept. 23. I love to kayak on the Mystic--you would be amazed at how sparse it feels out there, despite being in one of the most densely populated places in the northeast.

But they also want input on the park design. This is right up our neighborhood groups alley--right??

Anyway--details at this link: https://mysticriver.org/calendar/2017/9/23/mystic-river-community-paddle-event

Join us for a community event to share your vision for Somerville's waterfront and get out on the Mystic River. Participants will learn about and give ideas for the Blessing of the Bay Park redesign and rent a canoe or kayak for one hour for FREE! Special thanks to Paddle Boston for making this event happen at their newest location in Somerville.

Blessing of the Bay Boathouse: 32 Shore Drive, Somerville

Saturday, September 23

10:00 am* - 12:00 pm

Registration required.

*Participants must arrive by 10 to participate in a survey and short discussion about the park redesign effort prior to renting a boat.

UPDATE: you can answer the survey now from your desk--you don't have to go over. Please add your thoughts to this so our neighborhood's input is reflected. Also, you can sign up to be notified of future emails on this. We should stay alert on it. https://mysticriver.org/blessingofthebay?blm_aid=27154
