It was the experience of me and my neighbors that his individual routinely ignored our requests and appeals for funding over many years; alll the while damage was happening to the city park and pond that is a significant part of our Brighton community. In my opinion individuals that operate like Cook give public servants a bad name.

isn't that a state DCR property, not a city park?
Congrats

Chris Cook has been a real asset to the City of Boston’s parks and open space. He’s always been responsive as a leader and worked as a true advocate for green under two mayoral administrations.
Glad he’s sticking around in Boston in his new non-government role.
Congrats Chris!
A great pick

Why does the Greenway need a Conservancy? It should be a regular park, without its own administrative staff.
So a real good guy with real good connections

can be paid over $200K per year. In some ways, it's even better than the Convention Center Authority.
