Parks Commission Hears Complaints Over Pontoosuc Park Shore Access

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff

The site visit preceded a meeting of the Parks Commission 
PITTSFIELD, Mass.— A site visit to the south side of Pontoosuc Lake Park on Tuesday turned combative at times as attendees passionately voiced their discontent on renovation work they say limits access to the water.
 
The city planted 1,088 shrubs along the shoreline — service berry, buttonbush, silky dogwood, and nine other species. Some of the two dozen people who attended the site visit complained that the plantings are obstacles to using the shore for swimming, boating and fishing. 
 
"We gotta remember this lake is used by everybody that belongs to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts," said Daniel Miraglia. "The biggest area we've had for the public to use. We're taking that away. We're losing our land for open space at an incredible rate."
 
The plantings are part of the redesign and revitalization of the park, a project that was years in planning and is now about 90 percent complete. 
 
The site visit occurred before Tuesday's Parks Commission meeting, and although there were fewer attendees at the meeting, the same concerns were voiced. And the commissioners listened. 
 
They voted to recommend to the Conservation Commission that it consider modifying the current vegetation plan to create additional public access points to the water.
 
The project consisted of 2,268 pieces of vegetation, including river birch, ferns, herbaceous perennials, and the shrubs.
