| The Esplanade Association announces a $20 million gift commitment made to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts that will fund the establishment of Charlesbank Landing, a two-acre riverfront park enhancement on the historic Charles River Esplanade in Boston. As featured by The Boston Globe, this “gift would fund $12 million in improvements, including a new year-round visitors center, in a two-acre area along Storrow Drive where the Lee Pool once stood until the Department of Conservation and Recreation leveled the long-neglected complex nearly two years ago. The association plans to raise another $2 million for an endowment, and at least $6 million to cover operations and maintenancefor the site over the next three decades.” This gift will be funded by donations from members and supporters of the Esplanade Association and represents one of the largest private gifts to the Commonwealth’s state parks system in history. The Esplanade needs YOUR HELP to transform this two-acre area of the Esplanade. Join your fellow community members in voicing your support for Charlesbank Landing today! |
