Looks like the 21 century Projects (w/Half Court Rim)
Yeah it's kind of a bummer it's a half court, but people seem pretty enthused to finally have park amenities that most of the other neighborhoods already have (count me as one). I've seen it get a lot of daytime usage so far during the week - probably folks that work in area I'd assume. Think the closest other court is on West 2nd or 3rd Street, so nice to now have one in Fort Point.
Two halves don't make a whole here. At the risk of sounding like a spoiled resident, a public tennis court or soccer nets would have been nice. The only public tennis court near Fort Point is in...North End by the Charlestown bridge?
Thanks for posting the link, I hadn't seen that.

The proposal for the park that is going to be built within the Channel Center project has a half-court as well (http://www.bostonredevelopmentauthority.org/DevelopmentProjects/PipeDocs/One%20Channel%20Center/One%20Channel%20Center_Comments.pdf. There's plenty of room for a full court. I'm assuming the decision for half vs. full is an attempt at reducing loitering.

Fountains are wonderful--something Boston needs a lot more of.
I almost agree. Tennis balls are things that bounce, and a usable racket can be had for pretty damn cheap. I don't think Andre and Steffi are moving into the area anytime soon....
Wow, I actually like the way that Q Park looks. It'll be nice when it's surrounded by buildings.
Wow! Nice park! Add a couple more thousand people to the neighborhood and somebody should use it.
For how much I hate the politics involved in this deal and the first box building developed. The box buildings together aren't coming out that bad hopefully the ground floor access can provide a more city atmosphere instead of a 128 office park by the water.
