Welcome to The Bowl Performance Pavilion project page!

Last September, Mayor Fuller announced her support of a feasibility study for a performance pavilion at the Newton Centre Bowl (off Tyler Terrace adjacent to the playground). We have now entered into a partnership with HKT Architects to bring this study to life. They will be consulting closely with The Bowl Performance Planning team which includes city staff from Parks, Recreation & Culture, Public Buildings, and Planning. Together we are working on plans to solicit public input very soon. HKT has a longstanding history of creating environments that provide opportunities for social interaction and help local communities flourish. We believe their expertise will lead to creating a thoughtful design at The Bowl; one that will enrich lives and increase the well-being of our residents. Come back to this page often to follow along in the progress of the feasibility study.
