Community input wanted for design of new skate park

The City of Chelsea Housing and Community Development Department is collecting community input on potential design concepts for a new concrete skatepark at Mystic Overlook Park via a survey available on the city’s website. The community’s input will be reviewed by the design team and  used to inform concept designs that will later be presented to the community during a public meeting on March 24.

Before taking the survey, community members are encouraged to review possible design concepts, available in PowerPoint slides on the website.

Chelsea first announced plans to build a skate park at Mystic Overlook Park in 2024 and has held several successful public meetings with community members. The Mystic Overlook Park, which was last renovated in 2013, offers walking paths under the Tobin Bridge and views of the Mystic River and Boston skyline.

Anyone with questions about the survey or any step of the process can contact Sara Han, Planner and Project Manager for the Department of Housing and Community Development, at [email protected].
