Webpage created by Boston Harbor Now and the National Parks of Boston to inform the public about the 2020 #ArtofThePark competition. The webpage details the time period of the competition for each park, as well as the available prizes and where to locate each park's prompt. With social distancing, #ArtofTheParks offers those in the Boston-area a way to engage with heritage sites even if they still cannot physically interact with them.
