Located on Milford Street at the corner of Taylor Street, Watson Park I and II are located across Taylor Street from each other. The larger, Watson Park I, is 2,500 SF and the smaller, Watson Park II, is a mere 400 SF. Mature trees provide ample shade to the seating areas in these tucked-away park gems.  

Interpretation and translation services are available to you at no cost. If you need them, please contact us at abigail.chatfield@boston.gov, LCA@boston.gov or 617-504-7709 by May 23.

We’re adding separated bike lanes on Boylston Street, Berkeley Street, a block of Beacon Street, and two blocks of Columbus Avenue as part of an expansion to close gaps in Boston’s low-stress bike network. The new lanes will create continuous, comfortable rides through the Back Bay from Fenway and the South End. The new, two-way lane on Beacon Street will bring bikers all the way to the Arthur Fiedler Footbridge and the Charles River.

We will have a table set up on the Commonwealth Avenue mall at Berkeley Street. Drop by anytime to view the design plans, ask questions, and learn more about the project.
