Session Laws

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to immediately designate the park located at the site formerly known as the Neponset Drive-in and the thirteen adjacent acres of metropolitan district commission park land as the Pope John Paul II Park, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

The metropolitan district commission park land located at the site formerly known as the Neponset Drive-in and the thirteen adjacent acres of metropolitan district commission park land in the Dorchester section of the city of Boston shall be designated and known as the Pope John Paul II Park in recognition of Pope John Paul II's visit to the city of Boston, the first American city to be visited by John Paul II as Pope. A suitable marker bearing such designation may be attached thereto by the metropolitan district commission.
