Seaport Memorial Park | Parcel F @ Seaport Square | Seaport

They better pick up the pace if they are doing the big unveiling and kick off party for the park 1 week from today. Looked like a mess when I walked by this morning.
 
Talked to the guys working on this yesterday. It's a fallen heroes memorial. Will light up. Being installed soon in the middle of the park they said.

I thought it was going to be a masonry obelisk but I can live with it. Should look cool lit up at night.
 
Walked by here on Friday - there's a really cool water feature using water from the harbor, no pics - not sure if it's part of the park or fan pier.
 
I still think it's a failure of planning/coordination that we did not get a nice line of parks all the way from Summer St to the harbor. It would've defined the space so much better. Instead we have kind of overlapping areas which might still work when all lots are built out, but more likely it's going to be awkward...
 
Theres a park in the middle of the L 3-6 parcels, that leads directly down the pedestrian corridor between pwc and 121 seaport. Then you cross the street into the memorial or you can take a right through the M parcels plaza. Then after that theres another park directly on the water at fan pier or you can walk to the pier 4 park. Its gonna turn out fine. Other than the green way boston and cambridge are a collection of many seaparate parks and squares spaced out enough to keep urbanity but give small getaways in pockets all over the city. I think thats basically what theyre going for here. The greenway is the exception not the rule. Most of boston has many small parks and squares like post office square that are not connected to eachother but are huge assests to the immediately surrounding areas. The only failures I really see here are how the memorial is not in line with the fan pier park. That part is kind of weird and I wished they planned them out to work together better.

Golden Retreivers -- I was there for the dedication of the memorial -- it was an event worthy of the history of Boston and the character of Boston

Your pix -- were excelent -- especially the Reflection of the flag with the flowers symbolizing the sacrifice contributed by the Gold Star families -- that is not just a nice image -- its truly poignant

You should share it with the rest of the world
