Mayor Arrigo Officially Reopens Gibson Park

June 11, 2019

Mayor Brian Arrigo and the City of Revere celebrated the grand reopening of the newly renovated Gibson Park this past week. This renovation includes an expanded playground area, new fencing, safety surface, walkways, new and accessible playground equipment, and a fully restored ballfield. Gibson Park marks the seventh renovation to recreational spaces in the City over the past three years. Additional grant requests and funding sources are in the pipeline for more park upgrades in 2019.

“Our parks and playgrounds are the spaces that make us feel pride in our community and welcome our young people to get active and build lasting memories,” said Mayor Arrigo. “We’ll continue to work hard to secure the grant funding and manage our city’s finances responsibly to ensure that our public outdoor spaces get the upgrades our residents deserve.”
