History of Magazine Beach

 

Some brief info, from Cathie Zusy from the Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association:

  • Did you know Olmstead once worked on the landscape, and it was once an island?
  • The water was so polluted, they installed a treament facility on site. It's helped to clean up the Charles River and transform it to the public amenity it is today.
  • It's been threatened by development, including the Inner Belt project from the 50's. Also plans for a hospital, a loab, a stadium and more.
  • Magazine beach welcome artists and designers to interpret its history  with onsite installations.

Excited to see what comes of the competition this year. Good luck to our teams!!!
