Please join us on June 7th at 5:30pm for our first organized walk in almost three years!

The walk is part of Olmsted Now: Greater Boston’s Olmsted Bicentennial and is the first annual walk in honor of Bob Sloane. Bob was a co-founder of WalkBoston and passed away in May 2021. He was a true pioneer in walking advocacy and a pillar of our organization, and we look forward to honoring his legacy by hosting a walk each year in his name.  

The walk will start on the Muddy River walk at the rear of the Hilton Garden Inn at Boylston St. and Brookline Avenue in Brookline (700 Brookline Ave, Brookline, MA 02446), close to the Brookline Village T Stop (D Line). 

A representative from Fairsted (the Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site) will accompany us to discuss Olmsted’s vision, describe the history and design of the Emerald Necklace, and update us on the restoration projects located on this section of the Emerald Necklace. Additional speakers will join us along the route.

Updates will be available on the WalkBoston website & sent to all registered attendees before the event.
