In person. Outdoors.

Join us in a community “park-raising”!

Address: 212 Congress Ave, Chelsea, MA

Growing from the BSLA Design Challenge, we are organizing a temporary transformation of a Chelsea vacant lot into a neighborhood-focused space that aims to inspire, engage, and COOL.

Over the past month, there have been a series of hands-on, on-site days in which our landscape architecture community and the Chelsea community work together to transform this space. This is one small piece of longer, larger, comprehensive work to address urban heat. Help us demonstrate the potential of and share the love for landscape architecture!

This is a community party to celebrate the “grand opening” of the pop-up park! Please join us!

ALL ARE WELCOME — and needed! — throughout this process. Parents, please feel free to bring kids so long as you’re there too. Specific details for each session will be announced here and on BSLA’s Instagram (@BSLAoffice). Please dress for the weather, bring a water bottle, and be prepared to get your hands in the dirt.

Interested? Awesome!!! With questions or to get involved in some way, please email gretchen@bslanow.org. Thanks!
