Langone Park

Latest comment: 8 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Currently "Langone Park" redirects to Clementina Poto Langone, where it's mentioned because the park is named after her and her husband, Joseph A. Langone, Jr. It's a pretty nice park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, right on the waterfront, and probably deserves its own article - or at least a paragraph and a picture in the Langone article.

There seems to be some confusion about the naming of the park and its components.

According to the Boston Globe,

The mayor was on hand to dedicate the new North End Waterfront Park on Commercial street next to the old District 8 police station. About 200 fans also came and saw the mayor throw out the first ball in the exhibition game between the North End and East Boston All-Stars.
The park, dedicated in honor of the late Sen. Joseph Langone and Mrs. Clementina Langone, represents the first phase in construction of a recreational complex.
The second phase will include a softball field, bleachers, boardwalk, and swimming pools. The MDC has plans for building a skating rink and basketball courts at the complex.

"200 attend dedication of N. End park". The Boston Globe. September 14, 1975.

That article suggests that only one part of the recreational complex was named after the Langones. But this picture suggests otherwise.

Components of the complex are named after different people. There's the Puopolo athletic field (presumably that's part of it), the Paolo bocce court [1], etc.

I'm happy to help, but someone who actually lives in the North End or at least in Boston would be in a better position to sort this all out. Rosekelleher (talk) 11:04, 30 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

p.s. There's also supposed to be a Scigliano Park in the North End. See George A. Scigliano. Rosekelleher (talk) 17:09, 7 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

An IP on Commons has stated that File:North End Boston 5.JPG, used on this article, “isn’t the north end! this is acorn street in beacon hill”. Please consider checking this information. Best regards, RodRabelo7 (talk) 06:04, 6 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

There is only one caption for the two photos shown. Hoping that can be fixed. Seasider53 (talk) 05:48, 2 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
