Copley Farmers Market Returns To The Redesigned Copley Square Park

WBZ NewsRadio’s Carl Stevens reports.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Kompley Square Farmers Market runs on Tuesdays and Fridays.
They reopened for the season a month ago on this
newly redesigned plaza, which has gotten a lot of flak
for being a wide, gray space devoid of grass, but
some of the vendors like it. What do you think
of this space for a farmer's market?

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, I think it's a wonderful space and it's gonna
make for a good market.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Andy Delia with Charles River Farm likes all the space
for foot traffic and plenty of room for vendors. Hassan
Sufan from Kasba Food and Pastries in Quinsy agrees it's
a nice setup for the market, good foot traffic, but
he misses the old park.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
It's not the same, you know. It doesn't hit as
hard as what it used to be. To me, just
looks like a giant concrete slab.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Now part of the park is still under construction and
that will have some lawn space. Should be opened by
September from Copley Square. Carl Stevens WBC Boston's news radio
