In the heart of downtown Boston, The Greenway offers something unexpected: a place to pause and experience the city from a whole new perspective. From Chinatown to the historic North and West Ends, The Greenway is a verdant corridor that connects you with all that the city of Boston has to offer––from markets and museums to family-friendly favorites, and more. Pedestrian pathways weave through manicured lawns and pollinator gardens, and fountains and public art wait to be discovered around every corner. 

The Greenway’s story begins with an extraordinary chapter in Boston’s history. For decades, the Central Artery, a six-lane elevated highway, dominated downtown, dividing neighborhoods and separating the city from its waterfront. Following the Big Dig, that space was reimagined as a public green space for all—one where people could come together in community and experience the city in a new way.

Today, The Greenway brings together world-class horticulture, transformative public art, family-friendly programming, free fitness classes, unique food trucks, and beautiful fountains, creating opportunities for discovery and delight throughout the park. Whether you’re taking in a new mural, watching the seasons change in the gardens, joining a favorite community program, or finding a quiet place to rest and recharge, there’s always something new and exciting to discover.

Come find your own moments of connection and joy in the heart of downtown Boston, and experience the legacy of The Greenway today.
