Stage Fort Park: Busy Earth Day 2023 #GloucesterMA

Stage Park before noon 4/22/2023: Dog park clean up was active. Canon status as is. Kids breaking in the street hockey rink.

Link to prior GMG post BEFORE photos through the years of the cannons and site design (incl 1870, 1921, 1930, 1973, and 2019). The cannons were removed for restoration in 2019 from grounds that were restored and completed back in 1973 by the 187th Infantry Brigade– and in time for the city’s 350th celebration. That vision was hoped for over many decades and emulated how the fort looked in the 1700s.

Stage Fort Park, Street Hockey Rink dedication

Great turn out for the dedication of the Street Hockey Rink at Stage Fort Park.  A big thank you goes out to all the committee member, volunteers, the city of Gloucester, The Boston Bruins and the generous donations of the citizens of Gloucester.  It looks so pretty and fun.  Ken Knowles, Rockport artist, did an amazing job on the center ice Bruins’ Logo.
