Lynn, a coastal city a few miles north of East Boston, is turning a former landfill into a waterfront park, says WBUR. “Officials will hold a groundbreaking ceremony today for the planned 22-acre Lynn Harbor Park... aiming to open the first phase next spring. When completed, the park will include walking trails, basketball courts, an amphitheater and more than 500 trees. The area around the park is also slated to get 4,000 new units of housing." #Boston #harbor #park #environmentaljustice
