Construction Timeline: March 2024 - July 2024

Anticipated Hurdles: We will pursue omnibus state legislation to coordinate permitting at the local and state levels. This legislation will carefully consider land use, zoning, transportation, historic preservation, cultural celebration, environmental protection and economic benefits to ensure the successful implementation and integration of Games infrastructure. No specific permitting hurdles are anticipated.

Test Event Construction: We anticipate construction for a test event.

Accessibility Options: Magazine Beach is a public park located in the Cambridgeport neighborhood. Situated on the Charles River, the site features a number of fields and recreation areas along a half-mile of waterfront. Olympic athletes and spectators visiting this location will be in the center of the University Cluster venues, with easy access to the Olympic events occurring on the MIT, BU and Harvard campuses. Magazine Beach is located a short walk from the Green Line and the Red Line. The venue will also be accessible via the pedestrian pathway along the Charles River and will be served by the Olympic Route Network via Massachusetts Avenue to Memorial Drive.
