Piers Park, located in the Jeffries Point neighborhood of East Boston, was constructed by the Massachusetts Port Authority in 1995 to allow residents access to the waterfront. Designed by Pressley Associates Landscape Architects, the park incorporates historic seawalls dating from 1870.[1] The facility for the sailing center was constructed shortly thereafter, but its sailing programs did not begin until 1997.[2]
The sailing center has a fleet of eighteen 23-foot Sonar keelboats.
