Rose Kennedy Greenway
Downtown Boston
The Rose Kennedy Greenway is located right in the Heart of Boston, and at the forefront of the North End neighborhood. It offers wonderful, up close views of city skyline. The park spans 1.5 miles and has a modern aesthetic and has a small open greenspace, water fountains, swinging benches and tables. It’s well-maintained, and very close to Boston Public Market, the North End and Quincy Market, which makes it a convenient place for a picnic. There are also food trucks and farmers markets on Saturdays, and outdoor fitness classes including yoga classes. This greenway is also a popular destination for tourists.
