South Boston Maritime Park
Civic Open Space | South Boston, Massachusetts
The Massachusetts Port Authority commissioned this celebrated public park as the centerpiece of its extensive mixed-use redevelopment on the South Boston waterfront.
Halvorson led the design of the award-winning park and adjacent roadway and streetscapes. The park features a great lawn, a three-season café with outdoor seating, two tall pergola structures, a bosque of shade trees, and special lighting. Its nautical theme is evident throughout the park, which includes interpretive inscriptions and sculptural works that evoke the maritime heritage of the Seaport District.
