Facilities Survey: Please Let Us Know What You Think

Submit by February 26th

Please take this opportunity to share your thoughts about our facilities here at the boathouse. Dave Snowdon would like to collect the information by February 26th.

As individuals and community members we treat the coming of each new year as an opportunity for a clean slate, fresh start, and new prospects. With this new year the CRI facility team is already underway on a number of facility wide organizational renovations. We believe with your input we can collectively create a more enjoyable and efficient boathouse. CRI and the Facility Team encourage you all to take the time to review this survey and help us stay true to our resolution to make The Harry Parker Boathouse truly amazing.

Sand Bar Dredging

Dredging Begins February 8th

We are happy to let folks know the exciting news that work to dredge the sandbar at the Faneuil Brook Outfall (the area of the Charles across from the Charles River Motel) will launch soon. The dredging will remove sand (mostly from the road) which has built up over time. Removal of the sand which has created a shoal will lead to improved water quality and navigation in that section of the river.

2016 Programming...

Registration Now Open

It is never too early to plan for spring and summer!

We look forward to seeing you around the boathouse and on the river soon.
