Park and Recreation Master Plan
HWC worked closely with the city, parks department, and a local steering committee to complete a Parks Master Plan for Charlestown. After reviewing input from over thirty stakeholder interviews and a public survey with excellent participation, recommendations were prioritized into four categories—connectivity, programming, projects, and policy. Adding one major facility to the parks system every five years was a principal goal of the plan, which the city is actively working to implement.
