The Mall is perfect for a group stroll, and can be easily added to your Boston trip itinerary. We applaud @FOPG for its ongoing stewardship of this park, and we'll see it this Saturday at the @Bos10KforWomen, which runs along Commonwealth Avenue!

Absolutely devastated about the loss of Henry Lee. His love for our parks, dedication and follow through were unmatched. Earlier this year, we celebrated the founding of the Henry Lee Fund for Boston Parks. To a dear friend of Boston Parks, rest in peace. 🕊️ @FOPG
