Lovely place to take a break from work and be close to nature. The Greenway is beautifully mainated and theres a wide variety of plant species to see. Great for bird watching too!

This place is like a little Oasis in Boston! You can still hear the cats go by but the grass is so green and the people and families are so nice and happy. It seems like a totally separate place from the fast paced and usually a bit in-your-face, city of Boston. Its a nice place to sit down and relax if you are visiting

This is a must see even if you dont ride. This carousel is stunning.Every character has fantastic detail and you dont see most of these on any regular carousel in the U.S. A hawk and snowy owl, each in flight.A sea turtle. Lobstahs, a spouting whale, squirrels, foxes. Absolutely stunning. Take the walk, watch the smooth movement and the smiles on the faces. Worth the time.

A true Boston treasure. I would argue that aside from the Red Sox, it is the BEST summer attraction for kids. Have them wear a bathing suit and hike it end to end visiting all the water parks along the way. Ride the carousel, eat at the food trucks, take in all the beautiful art and horticulture. A close walk to the Childrens Museum, Aquarium or Faneul Hall and waterfront.

The place is an oasis in the city. Many segments were decorated with interesting art. Some segments have beautiful flowers. Some segments also have chairs for people to sit down to relax. A very nice space in the middle of a busy city.

The Rose Kennedy Greenway is perfectly placed in between Bostons Historic North End and Haymarket. There are tables and chairs for the public to enjoy. There are also a couple of rocking benches, an artistic illuminated star design along the pavement and a shooting water fountain. Fun for kids of all ages... Of course, the green way grass area which hosts a variety of crowds, when weather permits. It is a great way to take some rest when sight seeing in Boston.

A wonderful outdoor natural parkway on the harbor near downtown Boston. This is a great place to go for a walk and get outside into nature. Its about a mile-and-a-half of continuous parks with occasional art installations. All in all, a nice place to get outside and go for a walk.

Its a peaceful oasis in the midst of the hustle of the city. Water fountains spring from ground. Kids run around and jump in (carry a towel if you are bringing kids). Sit back on the lush green grass and catch some sun. There are vendors on each side of the Greenway. There food trucks and of course the carousel.

For a major city area like Boston, Rose Kennedy is a peaceful stroll in the park. Sprinkler water ways for the kids to run through. Benches to sit and absorb the sun. A hop skip & jump from the Boston Harbor. A great place to take a lunch and have a moment to yourself or with friends and or family.

I love the greenway. The city of Boston has done a wonderful job with the greenway as well as the board for the greenway. You can take a long walk, shop from local retailers, view films, go to the free little library, and so much more. It is a treat!

Review №49

Great use of limited urban space, a place people can retreat to if the congestion of downtown Boston becomes unbearable. Its quite neat that there are portions of I-93 directly underneath the park.

Review №50

Visited right after the aquarium and we loved it. My kids had a awesome time. Is really nothing special, is just a couple benches and water coming out of the floor and thats enough for the kids. What I really loved was the fact that there were people from different echtnic groups and everyone was having a blast watching their kids playing with the other kids. The love and happiness was all over the place.The place is beautiful, lots of green areas. That day two city employees from some department came and set an art station for kids to draw and paint. They gave my kids pins after they drew a picture.Its fun and relaxing. NO BATHROOMS thats the only reason I gave 4 stars out of 5.

If you ever go to Boston you will need to visit this place. I suggest that if you go here spend 30 minutes here. You will need to go here at least once.

Review №99

100% organically maintained with big lawns and amazing gardens. There are water features for kids, or adults if youre feeling wild. Its right in the center of the action, just a short walk to little Italy, Haymarket, Faneuil hall/ Quincy market, and the freedom trail runs right through the center. If you head south following the park you can be in Chinatown in 15 minutes and see some great gardens, public art, water fountains, pollinator homes, food trucks... The entire Greenway is a great place to go they have over 400 free events every year. Visit their site.

Plenty of places to sit. We ate our cannoli from Mikes Pastries at a table and then kids ayed on the grass afterward. For a busy intersection, it was a pleasant area, close to restaurants and historical locations.
