Martin’s Park at the Smith Family Waterfront Opens

June 15, 2019

Martin’s Park at the Smith Family Waterfront officially opened to the public on June 15, 2019. We made a $3 million gift toward the construction of the park next to the Boston Children’s Museum in honor of Martin W. Richard, the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings.

“We are proud and excited to help bring this gift of a world-class park to Boston in memory of Martin Richard…We look forward to sharing this park with our children, grand-children, and children from across the city and the region for years to come.”
