About Blair Square:
As re-envisioned by the Blair Square Committee, the redeveloped Blair Square is a Town Common for Holliston, providing open, green space for civic events, entertainment & recreation while enabling the Rail Trail to safely pass through. Its design welcomes multiple uses: from an individual having lunch to larger groups enjoying performances to a weekend farmerʼs market - and everything in between. And Blair Square becomes an anticipated rest-stop for visitors arriving via the Rail Trail who will be introduced to our town & its businesses through informational & directional signage.
FEATURES
- Relocated Rail Trail: The Rail Trail sweeps to the the west of the park to open up an Event Lawn & Plaza
