Esplanade Riverfront Pavilion | Charlesbank | West End

[Equilibria]

I'm taking my life into my hands creating a new thread for something from November, but I honestly don't remember seeing this on AB yet.

3 separate elements here:

- A recreation center built into an artificial hill adjacent to the Ebersol Fields.

- The redevelopment of the State Police barracks/parking lot into a park.

- Development of an interpretive center and cafe in the adjacent lock house.

Looks beautiful! I don't have the time today, but would love it if somebody could please mine out screenshots from that PDF to feature in this thread.

Wow, very interesting. This is the first I've heard about it, too. I wonder how those "public meetings" were publicized.

agreed, very interesting. too bad they didn't include the south bank bridge in the plans...it'll go a long way to revitalizing the west end

Let's go back to this. Olmstead was pretty good at this landscape stuff.
