The Greenway is a beloved Boston landmark–a vibrant stretch of greenspace stretching 1.7 miles from Chinatown to the historic North and West Ends–and every day there’s something new to experience and discover.
This season, we’re excited to introduce two ways to begin exploring the parks at your own pace: our newly updated Self-Guided Tour: Spring 2026 Edition and the debut of our brand new Greenway Adventure Guide, which is now available for download!
Introducing the Greenway Adventure Guide (Now available!)
This season, we’re especially excited to launch something brand new: the Greenway Adventure Guide—a hands-on, interactive experience designed just for kids.
Perfect for families, school groups, camps, and educational programs, the Greenway Adventure Guide transforms a visit to The Greenway into a playful learning journey. Through creative prompts and activities, kids are encouraged to explore the park in a whole new way—by observing, imagining, creating, and engaging with the world around them.
Inside the Adventure Guide, you’ll find:
- Fun, interactive activities inspired by nature, art, and design
- Prompts that encourage curiosity and creativity
- Opportunities for hands-on exploration throughout the park
- Educational elements that connect kids to sustainability, public art, and Greenway history
From spotting shapes in public art to engaging with the sights and sounds of the park, the Adventure Guide turns every visit into an opportunity for discovery.
Whether you’re planning a weekend outing, organizing a field trip, or just looking for a screen-free, outdoor activity, this guide offers a meaningful and memorable way for kids to experience The Greenway. You can learn more and download the guide on our Education & Exploration page.
