Veterans of Foreign Wars Parkway

Veterans of Foreign Wars Parkway extends 4.3 miles from Washington Street to Centre Street through residential neighborhoods of Boston and Brookline.

The construction of this transportation corridor began in 1930 and continued in stages until 1942, connecting the Upper Charles River Reservation.

The parkway represents early 20th-century urban planning principles with its integrated green spaces and connection to the Metropolitan Park System.

This major thoroughfare provides direct access to Route 109 in West Roxbury and intersects with West Roxbury Parkway at Kelly Memorial Rotary.

Trees planted during the initial construction phase in the 1930s continue to form a natural canopy over the roadway segments.
