Friends of Titus Sparrow Park Walking Group
About the Walking Group
The Friends of Titus Sparrow Park Walking Group is a 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 group 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 group is about participation, not pace.
