How a parking lot became Center Park
by Ellen Miller
On September 26, 2006 the Board of Selectmen gave
final approval to the Center Park project. The
small park on Lowell Street next to Ferns' garage,
usually considered just a parking lot, will soon
be beautified for the benefit of all Carlisleans.

Carlisle Garden Club Presented Isabella
Stewart Gardner on 20 September 2008 at Center
Park
The Carlisle
Garden Club hosted "Isabella Stewart
Gardner: America's First Patroness of the Arts" on
Saturday, September 20, 2008 at Center Park. A
recognized leader of Boston's salon scene, Mrs.
Gardner, with characteristic verve and candor,
related stories about her luminous circle of
family and friends, relived journeys to exotic
lands, and shared other potentially scandalous
encounters. Reenactor Jessa Piaia's dramatic
portrayal was set in 1909, six years after the
opening of Fenway Court (now the Gardner
Museum). Mrs. Gardner designed and built
this mansion for her extensive art collection and
willed it to the City of Boston.
Ms. Piaia studied performance at London's Oval
House Theatre and works in the Anthropology
Department at Harvard University. Research for
this program was conducted at the archives of the
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Historic New
England, the Church of the Advent, and the Society
of St. John the Evangelist.

The Center Park Desgin
| |
Like an
aerial view-no path around back. All open. Tall,
slender trees there now. Colorful flower beds.
Possible bench sites. 24" high timber fence
replacing cut-off telephone poles (brown knobs
below). Two field stone paths to park from arrival
area. Granite entrance posts. Roma pack instead of
asphalt surface planned. Slope curbing. Oval in
front will bring the park "to the street" in a
beautiful way. |
