A new park and boat launch recently opened in Cambridge’s Kendall Square, connecting the square to the Charles River.

The new park, which weaves together the Cambridge Landing buildings, including Watermark and future sites for a hotel, office and lofts are being developed by Twining Properties.

Neighbors are part of the Kendall Square Corporation (KSC), a partnership between BioMed Realty Trust, Twining Properties and Constellation Center. KSC operates the public open space surrounding their buildings in Kendall Square including an ice skating rink, concert venue, farmer’s market and now the boat landing.

Tonight, the association will host a festival to celebrate the new community grounds. The evening’s festivities will include boat tours by Charles River Canoe and Kayak, segway rides and demonstrations offered by the new Segway dealership located in the Genzyme Center and neck and back massages provided by Equilibrium, a new fitness center and spa opening in the Watermark Residences later this year. Food, drinks and entertainment will also be provided.
