John J. Ryan Playground Improvements

The second phase of construction has started at Ryan Playground. We will be installing the berm, a critical new piece of infrastructure to protect the park and Charlestown from sea level rise and storm events. In addition, we will have new ballfields, playground and splash pad, street hockey rink, seating areas, pathway and sports lighting!
