The Mary Ellen Welch Greenway is a Recreational Open Space in East Boston, MA

The trail runs from the historic Jeffries Point Waterfront through the neighborhood towards Constitution Beach and beyond. Through close collaboration with the city, we envisioned a new greenway that not only provided a place to relax but also a place to move — taking pressure off crowded streets, and with that — the Mary Ellen Welch Greenway was born.
