Tuesday, April 22, 2008 - Boston Globe reports "State slates $5m for new Neponset park"

The Boston Globe reports that the state has allocated $5 million to develop parkland along the Neponset River from Mattapan Square to the Neponset River Parkway.  The project will open up the river for walking, biking, canoeing, and more recreational activities by 2010.  This is a portion of the Neponset River Master Plan, which calls for extending the Neponset River Greenway from Central Avenue in Milton down to Paul's Bridge (Neponset River Parkway) at the Milton / Hyde Park border.

Saturday, March 22, 2008 - Spring Neponset Greenway Bicycle Tour

From Paul’s Bridge Parking Lot, Neponset Valley Pkwy. & Brush Hill Rd., Milton

This annual spring tradition is to ride the future sections of the greenway to the established path. The ride started at Paul’s Bridge in Hyde Park, where the Neponset River meanders past the base of the Blue Hills, up to Victory Road Park in Dorchester, past the current end of the Greenway and back. The 15-mile trip was fairly flat, and it was a casual ride that included eight cyclists off all skill levels.

Led by BNAN (Boston Natural Areas Network) board member and cycling enthusiast, Doug Mink, the ride offered a chance to meet new people, learn local history, discuss the ongoing work on the Neponset River Greenway, and also to stop and enjoy some treats at the Phillips Candy House in Dorchester.
