walk, run

The Boston Harborwalk is a 43 mile path from East Boston to Dorchester that's perfect for biking, walking, or jogging along the city's waterfront.

We're particularly fond of the section right by the Children's Museum and passes the Boston Harbor, the Smith Family Water Park, and the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA). Directly in front of the ICA you'll find a big open seating area for sitting back and watching the boats pass while the kids play on the boardwalk. The best place to sit or explore the boardwalk is out front of the Institute of Contemporary Arts!

Jennifer de Merode

The Head of Accounting and Boston Ambassador, Jenny has been living in Boston for almost 10 years. Before Boston, she lived in Washington, DC for 8 years, and previous to that grew up on Long Island, NY. Along the way, she spent a few months in Amsterdam with her family biking all around and exploring that beautiful city! Jenny has always enjoyed being active - from organized sports to jogging, and of course, being in the garden as much as possible when the weather is cooperative. She tries to include her children in all of her active hobbies. With two toddler boys, ages 3 and 5, she and her husband spend their time discovering new places and things to do in the New England area. Spending time outdoors in all types of weather and encouraging her children to love all seasons is very important to her - and so is helping and encouraging others to do the same. Jenny and her family love spending time at the beach, traveling, taking walks and hikes, and of course, finding new playgrounds!
