BPDA Awards Tentative Designation to Courageous Sailing for Transformative Pier 5 Redevelopment Project

Courageous Sailing, a leader in youth sailing education and community waterfront access, today announced that the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) has awarded tentative designation for its proposal to redevelop Charlestown’s Pier 5 into a world-class public amenity and community center focused on year-round waterfront access, recreation, education, and climate resiliency.

Courageous Sailing’s proposal envisions transforming Pier 5, which has been vacant and unused for over 30 years, into a vibrant year-round waterfront destination that would serve residents and visitors from across Boston and beyond. The facility would feature an ocean-fed swimming pool, an interactive learning lagoon with tidal pools, indoor and outdoor educational spaces, an immersive maritime gallery, rooftop green space, and shared marine science research facilities. All major spaces would serve dual purposes, supporting expanded Courageous programming and public access. Read more about it, here!!

5th Annual Christmas Singalong

(Doors open at 4:50) It will take place at Christ Church Charlestown, who has generously offered their beautiful space again. The Charlestown Mothers Association also sponsors this even every year so the concert may remain free! It is family friendly and open to all ages, but all children must be accompanied and cared for to ensure the safety of all. There is limited stroller parking so please plan accordingly!

This year, you’ll be joined by the musical talents of Masataka Yamamoto on keys, Nic McGehee (drums), and Nat Mangrum (hand percussion) to bring you a festive singalong.
