About Rose Fitzgerald Greenway Conservancy
The Rose Kennedy Greenway, a vibrant, mile-long ribbon of open space, was created when Boston’s elevated six lane highway was demolished and the Central Artery Project completed. Now, four of Boston’s most diverse and dynamic neighborhoods – formerly divided by a massive structure of steel and asphalt – are linked by beautifully landscaped parks, gardens, and plazas and reconnected with the harbor.
Established in July, 2004 through an agreement with the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, the City of Boston, and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Rose Fitzgerald Greenway Conservancy is a private, non-profit organization. The Conservancy will manage operations and establish an endowment to fund maintenance and promote and support educational programs, performances, and other special events.
