Come tour the newly upgraded Riverside Park area and learn about the efforts to connect Newton’s walking areas and park lands! Tod Cochran of the Riverside Greenway Working Group will lead interested walkers on a short 1.5-mile loop. Participants should meet at Riverside Park at the end of Charles Street in Auburndale (the closest address is 107 Charles Street). From there, Tod will bring the group across the Charles on the recently reopened Lasell Boathouse Bridge, continue on the Weston side to the Pony Truss Bridge and Newton’s Pony Truss Trail, and then loop back to the Charles Street parking area. Much of the walk is flat and paved, while the Pony Truss Trail is natural and narrow. A steady rain will cancel the walk. Rain Date: Saturday, Oct. 31, 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm.
