- Paths beside the Riverway, Jamaicaway and Arborway are on the state plowing plan. Paths inside the parks can wait days after big storms. Fuente

Back Bay Fens pathway rebuild, done in phases
Back Bay Fens. Phase 1 this fall is around the Victory Gardens. Staging is on the basketball courts.
The city expects to finish in 2026. Work is phased so the whole park is not closed at once. Follow posted signs.
