Mendoza Square

Welcome to Mendoza Square

Located at 435 Bennington Street, Boston, Massachusetts, Mendoza Square is a serene and vibrant park that is part of the extensive network of green spaces managed by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department. Our mission is to create and maintain clean, green, safe, and accessible open spaces across Boston, contributing to the city's natural beauty and community well-being.

Mendoza Square is one of the 217 city parks that we diligently care for, offering a welcoming environment for relaxation, recreation, and community gatherings. Our commitment extends to maintaining over 2,300 acres of parkland, including playgrounds, athletic fields, game courts, and historic sites, ensuring that every resident and visitor can enjoy the natural splendor of our city.

This summer, we're excited to host a variety of free events and activities for all ages. From family-favorite movie nights under the stars to the lively Tito Puente Latin Music Series, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Additionally, the innovative Alianza traveling beer garden, brought to you in partnership with Roundhead Brewing Company and Fresh Food Generation, will be making its rounds, offering a unique social experience in the city's parks.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, our Tree Removal and Parks and Recreation Commission hearings are now held online, ensuring continued community engagement and safety. We also manage the care of approximately 125,000 trees throughout Boston, including more than 35,000 street trees, maintaining the city's lush canopy.

Mendoza Square is more than just a park; it's a community hub where nature and culture come together. We invite you to explore and enjoy all that our parks have to offer.
