East Boston
Condor Street Urban Wild
The Condor Street Urban Wild borders Chelsea Creek, a busy navigational channel between East Boston and Chelsea. Thanks to the efforts of the Boston Conservation Commission, the Boston Environment Department, the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, the Chelsea Creek Action Group, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, this former marine industrial site has been redeveloped into an urban wild. The restored site features salt marshes, meadow grasses, and other coastal habitat elements as well as walking paths, a boardwalk, sculptures, and a viewing platform overlooking Chelsea Creek. In addition, harbor porpoises can sometimes be spotted swimming along this stretch of Chelsea Creek in the winter and spring.
