Hike Boston: Photo Walk Franklin Park

Hike Boston is a week-day day-time hiking series where we invite you to join us for a walk in one of Boston's parks or urban wilds.

April 6, 2023
2023-04-06T10:00:00 - 2023-04-06T11:00:00

Boston Park Rangers, Urban Wilds staff, and Parks employees will provide formal and informal discussions or tours during the hikes. Some hikes may be more focused on taking a walk in the park, while others may be more informational.

Hikes will explore different wilderness or park areas of Boston. Hikes will take place primarily on unpaved paths. Programs will last about one hour and length may vary.

We invite photographers of all skill levels for hikes while improving their photography skills and seeing our parks from a different perspective. Bring your camera or smartphone and we will take photos as we go for a hike together.

For more information, visit the Hike Boston home page.
