Currently Draw Seven is an underutilized park that dead-ends near the border of Somerville and Boston on the Mystic River, behind the Assembly Row T Station. The MBTA and DCR have been working for years to restore the seawall and create a new path that will connect this park to Route 99/Rutherford Ave in Boston. This new path is now complete and open to the public.
At the same time, DCR is leading a redesign process for the 9-acre Draw Seven Park. Read more about the design of this climate-resilient park that will enhance connectivity and restore ecological systems. See presentations below for more details.
