East Boston Greenway

The East Boston Greenway is a linear park planned along the old railroad right-of-way, connecting neglected portions of East Boston’s historic waterfront to the Piers Park, the Boston Parks stadium and two Urban Wilds - Wood Island Bay Marsh and Belle Isle Marsh.

The East Boston Greenway provides a buffer along the Logan Airport edge to the City and when complete, will add over 12 acres of new park land and a 3.3 mile pedestrian/bike trail through the center of East Boston. The Greenway’s development is closely tied with the "Big Dig" project which is building the 15 acre Bremen St Park and a 7 acre expansion of Memorial Stadium along the greenway alignment. The City of Boston who purchased the abandoned Conrail railroad line.

The Friends of the East Boston Greenway and its predecessor the East Boston Greenway Council has provided the vision for the Greenway and the planning for its many public programs. The mission of The Friends of the East Boston Greenway is to promote the establishment, development, maintenance and positive use of the East Boston Greenway and they work to develop and promote educational and cultural programming concerning natural resources, local history and health and fitness with the East Boston Greenway as the venue for these programs. The Friends/ Council meets monthly and enables residents to have a voice in how the Greenway is being developed. BNAN provides staff for the Friends/Council. Additional participants are always welcome.

There are a variety of environmental opportunities offered along the greenway through the Young Explorers, the Youth Conservation Corps, and other Events.
