Boston Parks and Recreation
About the Business
Welcome to Boston Parks and Recreation, your gateway to the city's lush landscapes and vibrant community spaces. Located at 1010 Massachusetts Avenue, we are dedicated to creating and maintaining clean, green, safe, and accessible open spaces across more than 2,300 acres of parkland throughout Boston.
Our department oversees 217 city parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields, along with two golf courses, 65 squares, 17 fountains, 75 game courts, and the historic Emerald Necklace, which spans 1,000 of our 2,346 acres. We also manage three active cemeteries, 16 historic burying grounds, and approximately 125,000 trees, including over 35,000 street trees.
Join us for a host of free events and activities designed for all ages, including outdoor movie nights in your neighborhood parks and the much-anticipated Tito Puente Latin Music Series returning in July and August. This summer, don't miss Alianza, a unique traveling beer garden brought to you by Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation in partnership with the City of Boston.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Tree Removal and Parks and Recreation Commission hearings are currently held online. If you wish to remove a healthy tree, a public hearing is required.
Explore the beauty and community spirit of Boston with us at Boston Parks and Recreation. For more details on our events and services, visit our website or contact us directly. We look forward to seeing you in our parks!

Reviews
"This place awesome and clean"
"A pleasure to come here and enjoy some time in the nature"
"Incredibly helpful and hard-working group. They helped us set up an event in one of the parks with no hassle and step-by-step instructions on procedures. One of the greatest experiences with a government institution I've ever seen. They make Boston great!"
