City Releases Final Plans for Doherty Park
City planners have proposed new playground equipment and a reconfigured look for Doherty Park. Take a look at their final plans.
Last week the city hosted the third and final community meeting on the redesign of -- the large public area that spans Medford and Bunker Hill streets.
Only four residents turned out to take a look at the final plans. You can see them attached as a PDF to this article. (You can see how the plans have changed since the last neighborhood meeting. Take a look at previous designs .)
The park renovations are part of the city's regular cycle of playground updates. The playground at Doherty Park hasn't changed since the early 90s and codes have changed since then. While updating the playground, officials are taking the opportunity to improve the park overall.
