Each spring, we lead a free walk with a ~1-1.5 mile route that includes ~2-4 stops where we hear from a guest speaker. We start or end near public transit and usually end at a place where people can mingle or have a drink if they’d like to continue conversations.

Since this is a point-to-point walk, we encourage you to use public transportation, walk, or bike to the start so that it is easy for you to head out afterwards.

This walk is in honor of Bob Sloane. Bob was a co-founder of WalkBoston and passed away in May 2021. He was a true pioneer in walking advocacy and a pillar of our organization, and we honor his legacy by hosting a walk each year in his name. Updates will be available on our website & sent to all registered attendees before the event.

Start: Lovejoy Wharf (off Causeway Street). Look for a WalkMassachusetts sign.
End: Lingo Cafe + Bar in MassDCR’s North Point Park. 

On this walk, we’ll look at changes in/around the Charles River Basin near North Station and hear from speakers at points along the route. A lot has been happening in this pocket of the city since we last led a walk here back in 2017! We’ll see and learn more about:
• Bill Russell Bridge, formerly known as the North Washington Street Bridge
• Planned Draw One bridge behind North Station. Advocacy is needed for the missing pedestrian link!
• Graffiti artist-in-residence at Charles River Conservancy's Lynch Family Skatepark
