Park News: 20th Anniversary

The Southwest Corridor Park is an award-winning 4.7 mile park connecting Boston neighborhoods from Copley Square to the Arnold Arboreteum and Franklin Park. It was fought for and planned by the diverse communities of Jamaica Plain, Roxbury, the South End and Back Bay.

In 1969, the proposed I-95 highway project intended for the corridor was stopped in response to community action, and over subsequent years, plans evolved for the corridor to become the route of the newly modernized Orange Line and a linear park and bike path. The official grand opening came on May 5th, 1990.

On Saturday May 1st, we will celebrate the 20th anniversary in collaboration with the Wake Up the Earth festival! Please visit again for updates.
