Park Alert:

Public ferry service to the Boston Harbor Islands will be suspended on Thursday, June 12, and Friday, June 13 due to a unique combination of waterline repairs on Georges Island, vessel limitations, and a previously scheduled private event on Spectacle Island. Service to Spectacle Island will resume on Saturday, June 14. Georges will remain closed until repairs are complete. We appreciate your patience and will be offering an additional free ferry day later this season.

Calendar

Activities, ranger tours, and most programs are included with your ferry ticket.

Moakley Park Clean Up

Join Boston Harbor Now and the Boston Parks and Recreation Department at Moakley Park to give back to your community and enjoy the beauty of this waterfront park!

Event will run rain or shine, however may be canceled due to severe weather conditions.

When cleanups are: Cleanups occur on the third or fourth Saturday of the month from March through September with a special celebration of flowers on May 13 and a planting of bulbs on October 21st.

What is provided: All necessary tools, including gloves, pickers, bags, sharp containers and safety instructions.

What to expect: A volunteer session is 2 hours long, beginning at 9:00am and will require picking up litter and natural debris. We’ll give you everything you need to keep you safe. Just bring a positive attitude as you help make a difference in this City of Boston Park.

What to bring: Any snacks or water that you want! Make sure you wear work clothes and close-toed shoes (that you don’t mind getting wet or dirty). Don’t forget that depending on the weather you may want to bring hat, sunscreen, raincoat or jacket.

Directions: Please meet in the park near the picnic tables by the basketball courts (see image below).

*Note*: If the event of your choice is full but you are interested in participating in future Moakley Park Cleanups, please contact access@bostonharbornow.org.
