In Boston, thanks to decades of environmental tplanning and a more contemporary focus on equity of access to green spaces, every city resident now lives within a 10-15 minute walk of a park. This makes Boston a uniquely livable and exploreable city.

But it takes many hours of volunteer labor to keep all of these public green spaces litter-free, resplendent, and accessible.

The Walking City Trail is made possible by the tradition of volunteerism in Boston's parks, and if you would like to help keep these urban oases in excellent shape for the next season of urban hikers, please consider donating some time to any of these local organizations which help manage and advocate for the parks, gardens, and urban wilds found on the Walking City Trail and throughout the City of Boston.
