Riverway Park
 The Chapel Street footbridge, restored in 1997 |
The narrowest park in the park
system, it lies in the valley of the Muddy River, which is the boundary between Boston and
Brookline. Wholly man-made, steep banks and edges wooded by majestic beech trees preserve
a pastoral feeling, screening out the busy roadways beyond. Three of the footbridges within this park were restored in 1997. The Muddy River Restoration Project, coordinated by the City of Boston, will address issues of water quality and shoreline erosion. Planning, design, and permitting are underway, and construction will begin by Fall, 2002 in the Charlesgate area using federal, state, and municipal funding. |
