What can the new mayor do for Boston's parks?

In late October, FPC's executive director told CommonWealth magazine what parks need in the future from Marty Walsh, mayor elect. The Franklin Park Coalition took an active role in supporting forums for the mayor and city council elections and helped to bring a lot of issues to light. 

The Boston Park Advocates group is suggesting the following from the new mayor:

• create new parks, playgrounds, and community gardens in city owned spaces
• develop a 21st century webpage and apps for Boston's open space
• enliven city parks with vendors, programs, and community events
• find ways to creatively build funds for preservation and maintenance
