On Tuesday, September 10th at 4:30 pm, The Esplanade Association will hold a ceremonial groundbreaking at the Charles Eliot Memorial, adjacent to the Community Boating Docks. The groundbreaking is the result of over two years of fundraising and advocacy efforts to revitalize this historical memorial. Tuesday’s event will celebrate not only the work of Charles Eliot, but the future of the Charles River Esplanade.
The revitalization of the Eliot Memorial will transform the decaying site, named in Eliot’s honor, into an inviting gathering spot for Esplanade visitors by offering new seating, improved views, and enhanced plantings. This project has been made possible through the generous support of our donors and in partnership with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. The Esplanade Association invites you to join us on Tuesday to celebrate this restoration and enhancement of the park. The Garden Club of the Back Bay has been a contributor to this effort.
