Final Days of Summer: Framingham's Spray Park
Families at the newly-renovated Musterfields at Concord Place cooled off this summer with a spray park.
Families at the newly-renovated Musterfields at Concord Place cooled off this summer with a new spray park. The development, run by the Framingham Housing Authority, was recently remodeled.
The $30-plus million Musterfields at Concord Place redevelopment project gutted and modernized 110 apartments in the neighborhood near the courthouse. The project renovated nine buildings, originally built for soldiers returning from World War II. The multi-million dollar project when completed also included a new playground and a spray park.
The project was funded by a mixed-financing package, that involves public money and private investment.
Families who live in the 110 apartments pay from about $100 to $1,100 a month in rent, depending on their income.

I think this is great for the children living at this complex, but it would be nice if it were public so all the kids could enjoy it - especially if it was created in part with public funds. Does anyone know if this is open to the public?

I'm thinking this spray park must be open to all the kids in Framingham, since it's built with public funds. I hadn't heard there was a new spray park in town. I wish I had known earlier in the summer. Do you know what the hours are? We would like to go and check it out!

I'd love to know the hours. I'm bummed we didn't know about it earlier. It would have been perfect for this summer. I may try going tomorrow.

Sign says for residents of Musterfields at Concord Place only.
I'll make a call to see if it truly is closed to the public or if it like a playground at an elementary school open for public use; and find out what hours.
