About this Project:

The Archdale Housing Project in Roslindale, led by designers Nelle Ward and Shoma Haque, is a collaborative effort with the Trust for Public Land, Boston Housing Authority, and local tenants to revitalize community spaces. The project focuses on rebuilding the playground, rejuvenating the basketball court, and incorporating community requests for a bigger play area, outdoor learning opportunities, improved lighting, and additional seating. With a strong emphasis on safety and low-maintenance design, the team designed a vibrant, multi-use space for families and residents to gather. Recently awarded a CPA grant, the project is moving forward with design development while continuing to seek additional funding.
