About the Business
Welcome to Blackstone Square, a vibrant and essential part of Boston's expansive network of parks and green spaces. Located at 1535 Washington Street in the heart of Boston, Massachusetts, Blackstone Square is part of a city-wide commitment to maintaining clean, green, safe, and accessible open spaces. Our mission is to enhance the quality of life for Boston residents and visitors by offering a serene escape from the bustling city life.
As one of the 217 city parks managed by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department, Blackstone Square is a testament to our dedication to preserving the natural beauty and historical significance of Boston's parklands. The department is responsible for a wide array of facilities, including playgrounds, athletic fields, golf courses, fountains, and even historic cemeteries, all contributing to the over 2,300 acres of parkland across the city.
During the summer months, Blackstone Square and other parks come alive with free family-friendly movies and the lively Tito Puente Latin Music Series, bringing joy and entertainment to the community. We also offer a comprehensive schedule of free events and activities suitable for all ages, ensuring that everyone can find something enjoyable to do outdoors.
For those interested in unique experiences, the Alianza traveling beer garden, a collaboration between Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation, offers a delightful combination of craft beer and fresh food in partnership with the City of Boston.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adapted by holding our Tree Removal and Parks and Recreation Commission hearings online, ensuring that community involvement and environmental stewardship continue uninterrupted.
Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, an exciting event, or simply a beautiful place to unwind, Blackstone Square is your destination. Join us in celebrating the natural and cultural richness of Boston's parks. We look forward to welcoming you to Blackstone Square and our city's green spaces.

Reviews
"Quite place inside the busy Boston Southend"
"It has become somewhat of a dog park but I enjoy sitting on the bench in the early evening with my husband, snacking or listening to music through earphones."
"Too many DOGS Freely running around without a leash playing in the Water Fountain. NOT as ENJOYABLE as before. Some dog owners don't realize that there are some KIDS that are AFRAID of dogs even if they are Cute, Friendly & Well Mannered"
"I like walking my dog at Blackstone Square, MOST dogs and their owners are educated enough to understand the boundaries of a PARTIALLY fenced and NON-GATED area. I let my dog walk unleashed, as many other owners do with CLOSE SUPERVISION to their pets. I haven't ever witnessed an entirely carefree owner or aggressive dogs brawling in my personal experience. It's an open space for people having Yoga classes, Tai Chi Chuan practices, book reading, seating and talking with neighbors on a bench, kids playing and some picnics. Very safe during daylight hours, with harmonious space sharing and fairly friendly interactions. I just don't like when the Park and Recreation Dept people come around with their vans, asking users to leash their dogs, as a regular user, I see it is an unnecessary harassment, since MOST responsible dog owners are there on daily basis, at this point most owners and their dogs just leave the place for the time being, awaiting the PRD people to leave the area."
"I’ve been taking my puppy here since he was 8 weeks old. During summer time in morning and evening one would notice at least 25 dogs playing here. This is a perfect place for dog owners. I always bring my pup here, he plays with other dogs gets tired, comes home and sleep for 4 hours"
