THE EVERETT ADVOCATE–Friday, November 8, 2019 Page 3 Encore Boston Harbor announces opening of new Riverfront Playground and Riverwalk at Rivergreen E ncore Boston Harbor recently announced the completion and dedication of the new Rivergreen Playground and Riverwalk located on Air Force Road in Everett. The new playground and pedestrian path links to the Northern Strand Community Trail, a nine-mile stretch connecting community waterfronts from Everett to Lynn. Now open to the public, the playground and Riverwalk were completely funded by Encore Boston Harbor and revitalizes a formerly polluted industrial parcel that blocked public access to the Malden River. Keverian teacher honored as PLTW Rookie of the Year “The Rivergreen Playground and Riverwalk restores life to a previously inaccessible waterfront and creates a natural attraction for everyone in Everett and beyond to enjoy,” said Encore Boston Harbor President Brian Gullbrants. “In addition to the beautiful multiuse park, we’re pleased that the Riverwalk now completes a missing link to waterfront trails that connect the North Shore – one of which leads directly to Encore Boston Harbor’s scenic Harborwalk.” “The new Rivergreen Park located along the Malden River Greenway is a tremendous asset for everyone to enjoy for years to come,” said Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria. “Opening our city to the waterfront will improve the quality of life for our existing residents and enhance our appeal to new residents, businesses and the development community.” Situated along the Malden River, the Rivergreen Playground is equipped with a new playing field for soccer, football, field hockey and lacrosse; two basketball courts; a street hockey rink; a children’s playground and splash pad area; multiple picnic areas; and a scenic shaded overlook on the riverfront. Rivergreen Playground and Riverwalk were critical pieces of the Malden River Greenway Plan that was created by the Mystic River Watershed Association, longstanding partners of Encore Boston Harbor’s commitment to the lower Mystic watershed.
