Greenway Carousel

In 2013, we're building a new one of a kind carousel and we'll be opening it Labor Day weekend (Specifically, Saturday, August 31st 2013)  Rides will remain $3. As a result of construction, we won't have a rental carousel this summer. For updates on the project, visit our carousel page.

Fountains

Cool off on a hot summer day at the Rings Fountain in the Wharf District Parks.  You can count 64 nozzles that shoot up in the air and create circles of vertical water.  This is one of the most well-known features on the Greenway – your friends are sure to be there! 

You can also find a canal for splashing in the North End Parks and a winding, rocky stream in Chinatown Park.

The fountains are on from late May – early Oct. from 9AM-11PM daily.
