The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a stunning public park that spans from Chinatown to the North End of Boston, passing through the Financial District and Waterfront neighborhoods. Named after Rose Kennedy, matriarch of the Kennedy family, the park opened in 2008 and was built atop the highway that formerly cut through the city.
The Greenway is home to numerous art installations, including the famous "Flock" of 21 bronze bird sculptures perched on top of light poles along the park. It also features several seasonal gardens, including the popular Wharf District Park, which boasts a fountain and a carousel. During the summer months, visitors can enjoy a wide range of events and activities, such as fitness classes, food trucks, and outdoor concerts.
The best time to visit the Rose Kennedy Greenway is in the spring and summer months, when the gardens are in full bloom and the weather is perfect for picnics and outdoor activities. Visitors can also enjoy stunning views of the city skyline and waterfront, as well as access to some of the city's best attractions, such as the New England Aquarium and the Boston Children's Museum. Whether you're a local looking for a relaxing spot to unwind or a tourist exploring the city, the Rose Kennedy Greenway is an absolute must-see destination that showcases the very best of Boston's natural beauty and vibrant culture.
