The Greenway’s seven water features, outstanding organic spaces, public art, andone-of-a-kind carousel make the parks an ideal location to promote and create play experiences. Play is an essential part of development, allowing opportunities to learn about the world, gain social skills, test theories, and develop language and motor skills. All too often, free play time is restricted by reduction of school recess, safety concerns, and a national increase in screen time.
The Greenway is excited to offer an innovative space for free, unstructured learning experiences, connecting kids, families and adults with the playful elements of our urban park space. Come play on The Greenway!
Our GreenPLAY activities will be happening throughout the season to provide kids and families with a mixture of unstructured play opportunities and guided activities. Greenway staff and volunteers will leverage the park's strengths and unique play equipment to create fun, memorable experiences.
We will also welcome community guests to our play sessions; keep an eye on the play calendar in the sidebar for special play opportunities!

Youth Adventure Days include lunch from our food trucks, exploring art and play throughout the parks, riding the Greenway Carousel at The Tiffany & Co. Foundation Grove, and playing in our Rings Fountain.
While we are still piloting this program, we'd love to hear from other interested youth groups, especially those that work with underserved neighborhoods.
Play For All
As The Greenway builds its play programming, we will continue to look for innovative ways to engage everyone in everyday play experiences. Play can build community and spaces by providing engaging moments of pure fun.
波士頓市長移民提升辦公室主任Alejandra
St. Guillen表示，「高等法院裁決繼續阻止實施DAPA和擴展DACA，我們感到失望，」。她說，「透過我們的DACA/DAPA宣傳和教育活動，我們與社區夥伴合作，確保我們的居民獲得充分資訊並防止移民詐騙。」「我們將繼續支持符合2012年所宣布DACA原始版本資格的那些人提交申請和續期。」
CITY
OF BOSTON WILL HOST EVENT TO OFFER FREE LEGAL SERVICE TO COMMUNITIES AFFECTED
BY U.S. SUPREME COURT RULING ON DAPA AND EXPANDED DACA
BOSTON - Thursday, June 23, 2016 -
Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced a free immigration legal consultation
event will be held on July 23, 2016 at Madison Park High School in
response to the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling to uphold the preliminary
injunction that continues to prevent the implementation of the Deferred
Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and the
expanded Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) executive actions on
immigration, announced in November 2014.
"I am disappointed that the preliminary
injunction preventing the implementation of the executive actions on
immigration known as DAPA and expanded DACA remains in place," said
Mayor Walsh. "Millions of families in the United States and thousands of
Bostonians have been waiting too long for some form of immigration relief. My
Office for Immigrant Advancement is working with community organizations to
hold a clinic in July to educate affected individuals and to determine eligibility
for other forms of immigration relief."
"We are disappointed that the Supreme
Court's ruling continues to prevent DAPA and expanded DACA from being
implemented," said Alejandra St. Guillen, Director of the Mayor's Office
for Immigrant Advancement. "Through our DACA/DAPA Outreach and Education
Initiative, we are coordinating with community partners to make sure that our
residents are well-informed and to prevent immigration scams. We will
continue to support those who are eligible for the original version of DACA
announced in 2012 to submit their applications and renewals."
The free immigration legal consultation event
will be held at Madison Park High School in Roxbury from 10AM to
4PM on Saturday, July 23rd. Interested individuals should
call (617) 635-0008 for an appointment.
Because the preliminary injunction remains in
effect, applications for DAPA and expanded DACA are not available. However,
applications and renewals for the original version of DACA, announced in
2012, continue to be available.
Since DAPA and expanded DACA were announced,
the City of Boston under Mayor Walsh's leadership has taken steps to offer
information and resources to members of the immigrant community.
In April, Mayor Walsh launched Immigrant
Information Corners to provide information about resources and services
available to help advance the well-being of the city's immigrant residents.
The Immigrant Information Corners are located at the Boston Public Library's
Central Library in Copley Square and 24 neighborhood branches. The launch of
the Immigrant Information Corners is the result of a letter of agreement
signed by Mayor Walsh and Leon Rodriguez, Director of U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS), in June 2015 to promote citizenship in Boston
by providing materials on the naturalization process, warning residents about
scams, and highlighting the benefits and responsibilities of U.S.
citizenship.
In March 2016, Mayor Walsh joined 117 mayors,
county executives, and local governments, as well as the U.S. Conference of
Mayors and the National League of Cities in submitting an amicus brief to the
U.S. Supreme Court in support of the executive actions on immigration in
United States v. Texas, the lawsuit that led to the preliminary injunction
preventing the implementation of expanded DACA and DAPA.
