Join us in checking out the construction of the new Neponset River
Greenway Trail along the Neponset River from Mattapan Square (almost)

intersection of Fairmount Ave. and the Truman Parkway in Hyde Park, heads
north to Mattapan Square, then along the Greenway to Pauls Bridge at the
Bston/Milton line and back to the start, with a short stop at the confluence
of Mother Brook and the Neponset River.
