About this Project:

Symphony Park, located in East Fenway, is a half-acre urban renewal park that was in need of restoration to better serve its neighbors and the senior community at nearby Marville House. In partnership with the Fenway Civic Association and COGdesign, a revitalization plan was developed through public meetings led by landscape architects John Pate and Lisa Esterrich, incorporating improved access, seating, and social spaces. Symphony Park is now a vibrant and welcoming gathering space for the neighborhood where at any point in time you will find concerts, tai chi classes or street performers using the space.
