• MARY CUMMINGS PARK.
  Activities at Mary Cummings Park this year began on April 22nd with a trash cleanup by volunteers, and several Quail Run residents participated. Frequent activities are promised by the Friends of Mary Cummings Park from now until Fall cold weather. It is a good place to visit if you walk for exercise, but wear appropriate boots during mud season. A trail walk is tentatively scheduled for April 5th from 10 am to noon beginning at the kiosk on Blanchard Road.
  
  
  
  
  
  The Mary Cummings Park adjacent to Quail Run was given in trust to the City of Boston in 1930. The trust specified that the land be kept "forever open as a public pleasure ground." Boston is moving towards selling it for development to help pay for the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Another movement is afoot to build 300 to as many as 540 apartment units on the Northeastern University land that drives a wedge down the middle of the Mary Cummings Park land close to Quail Run. The Quail Run Trustees and concerned members are working to see what we should do about these twin threats in order to protect our property values and quality of life in Quail Run. The Mary Cummings Park land abuts Douglas Green and Vine Brook Way. See our Cummings Park page and the Friends of Cummings Park web page for more information.
