Project Details

Martin's Park honors the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings, Martin Richard. His family created this city park as an inclusive space for natural and imaginative play. Richter’s iconic Wooden Play Ship stands as a landmark, with two accessible levels, complementing the harborside setting. An accessible embankment slide and sculptured animal Stroking Stones round out Richter’s offerings of play for all.
