This bill directs the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to reclaim a specific 6,925-square-foot parcel of land in West Roxbury, Boston, for public use. The property, currently owned by the state, is defined by its boundaries along Belgrade Avenue, West Roxbury Parkway, and the former New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad line.
