THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2025 Page 19 RCCR | FROM Page 7 Congratulations to all T he City Council approved the appointments of Peggy Pratt to the Zoning Board of Appeals and Kourou Pich to the Human Rights Commission and the reappointment of Anayo Osueke to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund Board. Councillors also approved the reappointments of Viviana Catano to the Board of Health, the reappointment of Lauren D’Avella as a Constable and the appointment of Brittney D’Avella as a Constable for the City of Revere. McMackin Field on the rise T he City Council unanimously approved a $4.2 million loan order to fi nish the renovation of McMackin Field. Councillors tabled this vote at their last meeting so they could see a full presentation of the work being done at McMackin. DPW Superintendent Chris Ciamella presented renderings of the fi eld and detailed explanations of what the city can expect when the fi eld reopens late next summer. The drainage problem that closed the fi eld has been remedied with a drainage system in the center of the park that was designed to hold up against a 100-year storm. The city is still working on drainage issues with the condo complex at the back of the fi eld, but Ciaramella said the issue would be resolved. There will be three artifi cial turf fi elds for U-10 soccer, a regulation baseball fi eld for the high school and college teams and a Little League field. The soccer field is expected to be open to older players during the week and in the evenings for practice. There will be a 7-foot retaining wall along Winthrop Avenue that will reach 1 1/2 feet above a new sidewalk with decorative lights and trees. Bleachers that will seat 144 people will be installed on both sides of the fi eld. An 8-foot fence will surround McMackin with 30 feet of netting on the Winthrop Avenue and Victoria Street sides. There will also be 20 feet of netting against the condo complex. Councillors praised the plans and called the renovated fi eld an asset for Revere. Councillor-at-Large Anthony Zambuto proposed commissioning a model of the city’s “Little Fenway” to be displayed at McMackin. “This is Revere History,” said Zambuto, adding that McMackin has played an important part in the lives of many residents. Ward 4 Councillor Paul Argenzio asked if McMackin would be locked or open to the public. Parks and Recreation Director Michael Hinojosa said that hasn’t been decided yet. However, Hinojosa said there have been problems with dirt bikes and vandalism at the stadium. Argenzio said locking public parks has always been a pet peeve. “Residents have paid for it. You can’t lock the public out of a public park.” Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky proposed security cameras. Ciaramella said there will be cameras installed. Adding color to Shirley Avenue C ouncillors approved a $9,700 appropriation from the Community Improvement Trust for a mural on Shirley Avenue. Ward 2 Councillor Ira Novoselsky said the mural will be the fi nishing touch at the neighborhood’s new pocket park. Seven artists stepped up to create the mural, and two were chosen as fi nalists. Novoselsky expects the mural to be completed by November. ~ HELP WANTED ~ Type of Person Needed: * Are you an experienced/willing to learn, motivated person looking for a shop where your skills can be valued? services and public State inspection services.
