Letter: Thanks for the work to our public spaces
To the editor:
When I was a kid growing up in central East Providence in the 50s and 60s, my friends and I spent many cold winter days skating on Jones Pond, behind Pierce Field. In those days, many people found Jones Pond to be a mecca for winter activity and enjoyment.
For maybe 50 years or so, this pond lay desolate and in horrible disarray. I happened to drive by the pond recently, and today, it has been resurrected into Townie Pride Memorial Park, a nice addition to the Pierce Field area.
In all of Rhode Island and nearby Massachusetts, I am not aware of any recreational complex that is as impressive as the Pierce Field sports grounds.
Congratulations to Mayor DaSilva and city officials for having the vision!
