About this Project:

Mozart Park Redesign is a youth-led advocacy effort to re-imagine and co-design the park to be reflective of the neighborhood’s designation as Boston’s Latin Quarter. A series of design sessions were held during the 2024 Hyde Square Task Force summer programming to understand youth priorities and to re-imagine how the park could center culture, community, and climate resilience as an important neighborhood hub. Elements include intergenerational gathering, bright and joyful colors, and asymmetry inspired by Brazilian designer Roberto Burle Marx. The project is continuing with wider community engagement as it moves towards funding and implementation with the Boston Parks and Recreation Department.
