The Esplanade Association and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation invite you to Esplanade 2020: Crafting a Vision for the Esplanade’s Future.  This community input session will be held Wednesday, January 20, in the McKim Conference Room B at the Boston Public Library on Boylston Street, beginning at 5 pm.  From 5 – 6, learn the history of the Esplanade from Karl Haglund, historian and DCR Project Manager for the New Charles River Basin.  From 6 – 8, there will be a community input session, which will be comprised of (1) a group input exercise, (2) a breakout session, with participants discussing particular park issues and ideas, and (3) a series of summary reports from the breakout groups back to the general assembly of participants.  At 8 there will be a reception.  The Esplanade Association will moderate the exercise, record the ideas offered by participants, and use this information as the foundation for a ten-year vision of Esplanade 2020.
