Park in memory of William Wood to be dedicated Dec. 2

Wood Memorial Park dedication Dec. 2

Joe Piantedosi, director of Plants and Facilities, said the dedication of the William Wood Memorial Park on North Main Street, Route 28, near Shawsheen Square, will be Wednesday, Dec. 2 at 11 a.m. The town will place a plaque in honor of mill owner William Wood and his family. The total cost of the project was about $165,000. The money was given to the town by the Wood family and that transfer was approved at Town Meeting, Piantedosi said.

"It's now a beautiful public park. We did some restoring, some new construction on the entry way and planted new trees," Piantedosi said. "It's a nice tribute to this man who was a giant industrialist in his day."
