Whittemore Park Revitalization Starts This Spring In Arlington

ARLINGTON, MA — The first design and construction phase of the Whittemore Park Revitalization Project will start this spring in Arlington.

This phase includes renovations to the portion of the park in front of the Jefferson Cutter House, including the creation of a circuit path, removal of trees and new planting, renovations to the rail corridor and improvements to the central lawn.

The project's second phase, which will provide new accessible pathways to the front and rear doors of the Jefferson Cutter House, as well as improvements to the rear stairway, is expected to begin this summer. The existing side garden will be removed and replaced by a new garden, including a new granite retaining wall and wooden board fence.

The project will transform the small green space at the corner of Mass. Ave. and Mystic Street into a "focal point" for recreation and civic functions, as well as a place to appreciate the town's cultural heritage.
