About Rose Kennedy Greenway

The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a linear park of landscaped gardens, promenades, plazas, fountains, art and special lighting that runs for more than a mile through Chinatown, the Financial District, the Waterfront and the North End. Opened in October 2008, the 17-acre park sits on land freed by tearing down the elevated John F. Fitzgerald Expressway during the Big Dig. It is named after Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, matriarch of the Kennedy family, who was born in the neighbouring North End.
