The weatherguessers are saying saturday is gonna be nice, so the picinic is ON!
WHERE: Pope John Paul II park in Dorchester.
http://www.mass.gov/dcr/parks/metroboston/pjp.htm Meetup in the parking area by the south entrance, and then we stake out one of the picnic shelters.
WHEN: Noonish, Saturday July 11th
WHAT: Picnic lunch and kites. Bring food, bring beverage, bring a kite if you have one.
There is a supermarket nearby. I'll be bringing a small gas stove and frypan, and a quantity of burgers, buns and condiments. The park has lots of grass (which might still be soggy from all the rain), some picnic tables and parking. There is no running water in the park, and there are porta-potties up at the other entrance a short walk away.
Bring beverages to share, ice for chilling, food for sharing. Side dishes, main dishes, desserts or whatever. Some paper forks, plastic plates, and napkins would also be useful. But mostly bring your own fun self. If you burn easily, sunscreen is advisable.
The tall ships thing is goign on in boston, so traffin in boston proper is likely to be lousy.
HOW: MBTA: Take the Red Line (Ashmont branch) to Fields Corner. The #20 bus route passes by two of the park's entrances: at Neponset Circle and at Hallet Street.
By Car: Take US-1 South to exit 12, Rt 3A South and merge onto Gallivan Boulevard (MA 203). The entrance is located on Gallivan Boulevard. A second entrance is located on Hallet Street.
Hope to see you all there!
