Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park

Map of the Boston Marine Industrial Park

Raymond L. Flynn Marine Park, formerly known as the Boston Marine Industrial Park, is an industrial park which has been created on the Commonwealth Flats in South Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Before its creation, the site was used as the location for the South Boston Naval Annex, the South Boston Army Base, and was used as a general seaport district for many years. Currently, the park is in the process of being redeveloped, and utilizes many of the former military buildings. The Black Falcon Cruise Terminal is also located on the site of the former Army base.

In February 2016, the park was renamed in honor of former Boston mayor Raymond Flynn.[1]

In June 2017 at least one member of the Massachusetts Legislature (Representative Nick Collins, Democrat from South Boston) expressed a hope that a public/private partnership would enable passenger rail service to be extended along Track 61 out as far as the site.[2]
