Neponset Greenway Bike Tour + Art Activation

Join us for a group bike ride along the Neponset River Greenway followed by artmaking at Victory Road Park. We will make several stops along the Greenway at iconic sites in Mattapan and Dorchester to learn about the rich history along the Neponset River. Refreshments will be served at the terminal point, along with music and a relaxing art activity. Our intention is to offer a restorative experience that incorporates physical activity, creative expression, and reconnection with nature and local history in our neighborhood. This event is ideal for adults ages 18+.
