Some 20,700 youth and 4,900 disabled sailors have taken the helm of a Piers Park Sonar Keelboat. In 2017, PPSC recovered from a dire financial crisis. Over the last three years and with the support of our community and stakeholders, we have built a strong continuum of year-round programs. We now look forward to the next three years. This plan clarifies our vision, mission, and values as an organization. It sets the agenda for key actions we will take, and looks beyond 2023 to our hopes for the future. We are proud to present you with this vision and hope that you will join us in partnership as we work to achieve it. Thank you! At Piers Park Sailing Center, we believe: Disparities in access to the harbor Boston Harbor is a public resource make us less resilient to the climate that belongs to everyone, and should crisis and represent a social and be accessible to everyone to enjoy. environmental injustice.

    Exhibit GR-10 Open Space Plan 2008-2014 Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.2.6 Community Open Space & Recreation EAST BOSTON Section 7 Needs Analysis Section 7.2.6: Community Open Space & Recreation EAST BOSTON THE SETTING History Originally a five-island group, East Boston was connected to Boston with the establishment of the first ferry in 1637. In the 1833, William Sumner established the East Boston Company to develop this area as one of the first planned communities in Boston. From 1840 to 1865, East Boston began to expand rapidly, becoming a major site for the construction of world-famous clipper ships by well known builders such as Donald McKay and Samuel Hall. Thus, East Boston became a significant transportation center and shipping port. Attracting a large number of immigrants seeking employment in the shipbuilding industry, its population began to grow dramatically. With the Cunard Line establishing a port of entry in the Maverick Square area by 1839, East Boston became the Ellis Island of New England. In 1905, the first subway tunnel to downtown was opened. The development of Logan Airport in 1923, the Sumner Tunnel in 1934, and other transportation related projects severely impacted the neighborhood. Local industrial facilities began to decline in favor of airport related development and many families left for the suburbs. Today, despite such pressures, East Boston has stabilized as a neighborhood and in the recent years has had many new investments geared toward public facilities. The third harbor tunnel (aka Ted Williams Tunnel) has helped reduce airport bound traffic on residential streets.
