2/7/25: The Blackwell Footpath which connects the heart of Arnold Arboretum to Forest Hills Station (on Section 2 of the Walking City Trail) will be inaccessible from February through October 2025 due to a gate renovation project. We have created a simple detour which walkers can use to reach Forest Hills Station from Arnold Arboretum. The Google Map of the WCT, the printable map of Section 2, and the turn-by-turn directions for Section 2 have been updated to include the detour. We are currently in the process of getting the AllTrails maps amended to include the detour.

2/5/25: The demolition of White Stadium (on Section 2 of the Walking City Trail) has begun and it will be the first stage of a major renovation project. Temporary fencing has been placed around the stadium perimeter, making it impossible to walk directly alongside the building on the original WCT route. While you can still walk around the north side of the stadium, following the basic trajectory of the WCT, you will have to walk much closer to Playstead Road for the duration of the stadium renovation project. When the stadium is finished, a slight re-routing of this short WCT segment might happen, depending on how the footprint of the facility and any fencing has grown by then.
