News & Announcements

Our Pet Relief Area is on the corner of Franklin and Pearl Streets

Dear dog walkers, please keep your dogs off of the Great Lawn – we want our grass to stay green and clean. We built a Pet Relief Area just behind the wooden elevator headhouse on the Franklin and Pearl Streets corner of the Park. Please remember to pick up after your pet.

Going Even Greener and Leading the Way

Post Office Square is mitigating 100% of its electricity footprint with renewable energy under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement, partnering with MIT and Boston Medical Center, to purchase all of the output from Summit Farms, a solar project in North Carolina. It is the largest renewable energy project ever built in the US through an alliance of buyers and in aggregate, the expected 146 gigawatt-hours of emissions-free power per year will result in the abatement of 119,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions — the equivalent of removing 25,250 cars from the road. Learn more about the project here.

A Smoke-Free Park

Although we are a private park, we support the Boston Parks Commission’s ban on smoking in Boston’s public parks, playgrounds and beaches. For the health of our staff and visitors, and for the cleanliness of our Park, our Park is designated as a smoke-free place.
 

Park Activities

Music & Fitness

Midday Music and p.o.fitness wrapped up their 2025 summer seasons on a high note. We had near-perfect weather in July and August, enabling us to enjoy music from dozens of musicians and 9 weeks of outdoor yoga classes on the lawn.
