Join the PBK Boston Monthly Mingle to Stroll Along the Boston Harbor Walk
Come join us for a delightful afternoon as we take a leisurely stroll along the beautiful Boston Harbor Walk. This in-person event will start at the entrance to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum at 1 pm. It's a great opportunity to meet fellow PBK members, enjoy the scenic views, and engage in interesting conversations. Don't miss out on this chance to unwind and socialize in a picturesque setting!
The Boston Harborwalk is a nearly 40-mile public waterfront walkway that winds through Boston’s waterfront neighborhoods, stretching from Chelsea Creek to the Neponset River, through East Boston, Charlestown, North End, Downtown, Fort Point, South Boston and Dorchester. It is designed to connect the public to Boston Harbor and link the water’s edge to the city’s open space network. The Harborwalk offers a variety of experiences, public amenities, and points of interest.
We'll explore the Columbia Point Section of the Harbor Walk, around the U Mass campus to Savin Hill Cove and then in the other direction towards Old Harbor and Castle Island.
