Canceling All Volunteer Events in the Park / Adjusting Schedules and Events
Maintaining a healthy Greenway is a central part of the Greenway Conservancy’s mission. As we all practice physical distancing during this challenging time, we hope access to the outdoors can be a comfort.
The Conservancy is closely monitoring the evolving coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, and has made changes to our day-to-day operations and care of the park, including:
Increasing the frequency of cleaning and disinfecting of high-use surfaces in the park
Requiring staff to work remotely when possible
Canceling all volunteer events in the park until May 4, per the Governor’s updated non-essential business emergency order
Encouraging visitors to the park to follow Mayor Walsh’s April 5 measures for social and physical distancing, including wearing a face covering over their mouth and nose when in public and to stay home from 9p to 6a each day
The latest changes to our programming can be found below. Please be sure to check our online calendar for the latest details, and reach out to [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
