As part of the Boston Parks and Recreation Department's extensive network, Charter Street Park is committed to providing a clean, green, safe, and accessible open space for all residents and visitors to enjoy.

Our department proudly oversees a vast array of 2,300 acres of parkland throughout the city, ensuring that each of our 217 city parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields is well-maintained and welcoming. Whether you're looking to enjoy a leisurely stroll, a family picnic, or some active outdoor fun, Charter Street Park offers a serene environment perfect for relaxation and recreation.

In addition to our beautiful parks, we manage two golf courses, 65 squares, 17 fountains, 75 game courts, and more, all contributing to Boston's vibrant outdoor lifestyle. We also care for approximately 125,000 trees, enhancing the city's natural beauty and providing shade and comfort to park-goers.

Our dedication to community engagement is reflected in our diverse programming, including free family favorite movies in neighborhood parks and the return of the six-concert Tito Puente Latin Music Series in July and August. For those seeking outdoor excitement this summer, be sure to explore our complete schedule of free events and activities suitable for all ages.

Experience the unique offerings of the Alianza traveling beer garden, brought to you by Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation, in partnership with the City of Boston. This first-of-its-kind initiative adds a touch of refreshment and culinary delight to your park visits.

At Charter Street Park, we are committed to preserving the city's historic and urban green spaces, including our responsibility for three active cemeteries and 16 historic burying grounds. Please note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, tree removal and Parks and Recreation Commission hearings are currently conducted online.
