Boston city officials gathered yesterday to unveil the newly renovated street hockey facility at Garvey Park in Dorchester.

Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department celebrated the opening of the facility, named for John and Ann O’Sullivan, the late parents of the well-known Neponset hockey family.

“These new renovations to the street hockey facility will benefit young athletes in Dorchester and other neighborhoods of Boston,” Walsh said in a statement. “I thank our partners for their share missions in creating a Boston that is healthy, innovative and thriving.”

The Coca-Cola Co. and a partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association provided funding for the rink improvements, which include a new design, new boards to enclose the rink, bench and bleacher repairs, seal coat for the court, new painting and fence repair.

The rink will remain open to the public. O’Sullivan Hockey and the Boston Bruins plan to host a free youth hockey clinic to celebrate the revamp rink’s opening.
