Tonight it enjoys a rare moment in the spotlight as the city celebrates the completion of a 10-year renovation. The renovated park is now home to new soccer and softball fields, basketball court, and three state-of-the-art bocce courts, all of which are lit. There is also a new accessible swing set, a refurbished tot lot, an exercise pathway with fitness stations, a new irrigation system, plantings and landscaping. Mayor David Cohen cuts a ceremonial ribbon at 6:15, followed by games and face painting for kids, music with a DJ, a bocce tournament, volleyball, food, games and prizes. -- Ralph Ranalli Posted by the Boston Globe City & Region Desk at 12:32 PM
