 Boston Parks and Recreation sign in 2000. This design was approved by the community. Removing remnants of the old parking lot. Distressed trees and tired topsoil removed. The lot was graded for proper drainage. New soil, stone dust for walkways, and sidewalk added. Granite curbs define the walkway. Walways completed, sprinkler heads flagged, furniture installed. John Tagiuri, commissioned artist, with the first fence panel. A retainer wall lines the walkway. Time to add the fence. Time for planting! The front corner is ready to receive the redwoods. A variety of trees will supply color, shade, and home for many birds of the Fenway. Landscapers ensure proper placement of the wall of pines. Newly planted trees need lots of water. The bushes and shrubs arrive. All types of trees and bushes arrive. Most trees are in place, including three Dawn Redwoods by the sign. The fountain and the pergola will be the crowning pieces. The inner ring of the pergola has a core of steel. A crane lowers the pre-formed curved steel. The wide path will later serve as a performance area. The fountain arrives! The fountain was made in Georgia for Ramler Park. The team guides the fountain into position. Nearly ready for opening day! August 10, 2004, Mayor Menino officially opens Ramler Park.
