The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a linear park located in Boston, Massachusetts, built on land that was once occupied by the elevated Central Artery highway. Opened in 2008, it spans about a mile through downtown Boston, offering green spaces, gardens, walking paths, and art installations. The park honors Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy, mother of President John F. Kennedy and a prominent Boston figure. It serves as a vibrant urban oasis, connecting various neighborhoods and providing recreational space for residents and visitors, while also enhancing the city's environmental quality and aesthetics.
