Pope John Paul II Park Reservation
Neponset District
(617) 727-6034

Open year-round, dawn to dusk. Formerly used as a landfill and a drive-in theatre, the site of Pope John Paul II Park was once a barrier between the people of Dorchester and the Neponset River waterfront. The park now re-connects area residents to the resources of their unique and delicate river estuary by offering picnic facilites, soccer fields, play areas, paths for walking, restored salt marsh, and extensive plantings of native trees and shrubs. The DCR's restoration of the formerly degraded, contaminated site has also benefitted area wildlife: black ducks, mergansers, teal, Snowy Egrets, and Great Blue Herons, have been spotted at the park since it opened in June, 2001. Future improvements to the park will add restrooms, a fishing pier, a ranger station, and a link to the DCR's bike path network.

Directions:
MBTA: Take the Red Line (Ashmont branch) to Fields Corner. The #202 bus route passes by two of the park's entrances: at Neponset Circle and at Hallet Street.

By Car: Take US-1 South to exit 12, Rt 3A South and merge onto Gallivan Boulevard (MA 203). The entrance is located on Gallivan Boulevard. A second entrance is located on Hallet Street.

Open for business...

Well, its offical- Jessie Cuddy (www.jessiecuddy.com/) and I opened up our own real estate office. Its right across the street from our old RE/MAX office. Personally, I couldn't imagine leaving Lower Mills and though it took some work to convince Jessie the space would work, we are now Boston Bayside Properties:


Its exciting to be a business owner and we've been rolling since February 1st, 2009. Lots of stuff is coming together and hopefully this will be a stellar year.

As always we'll provide some of the best service out there in sales or rentals in the Boston area. With the latest tax credit ( ) hopefully I'll be able to get some of the first time home buyers sitting on the sidelines to move out there and find something that's right for them. There is still a lot of junk out there but I'm starting to see more and more deals in both single-families and condos.
