Martins Park Ship

Integrative space for natural and imaginative play

Martin's Park honors the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings, Martin Richard. His family created this urban park as an inclusive space for natural and imaginative play. Richard's iconic wooden play ship is a landmark with two accessible levels that complement the waterfront setting. A wheelchair-accessible slide and animal-shaped petting stones, which particularly invite young children to role-play, complete the play offerings for all ages.
