Friends of Titus Sparrow Park Walking Club

About the Walking Club

The Friends of Titus Sparrow Park Walking Club is a free monthly, all-ages walking series designed to bring neighbors together, explore Boston, and stay active in a relaxed, welcoming way.

After the overwhelming interest in our 2025 walking tours, we’re excited to launch an ongoing walking club for the community. Each month, we’ll walk in a different Boston neighborhood or green space—offering a fresh perspective on the city and a chance to connect with fellow park lovers.

Walks are hosted by FTSP Board Member Irwin Levy, who guides each route and shares insights along the way. Routes vary in distance and terrain, and participants are always welcome to join for the full walk or step off early. This club is about participation, not pace.

What to expect

  • Monthly guided walks at locations across Boston 

  • Open to all ages and walking abilities

  • Routes with flexible distances and easy access to public transit

  • A friendly, social atmosphere focused on camaraderie and community

  • Occasional themed walks and collaborative events

Who’s it for

  • Families, seniors, and solo walkers

  • Anyone interested in Boston’s neighborhoods, parks, and shared spaces

  • Supporters of Friends of Titus Sparrow Park

  • Whether you’re a regular at Titus Sparrow Park or new to FTSP, you’re welcome to walk with us
