Your Event at the Park

Mary Cummings Park is kept in trust by the City of Boston. For a large organized event you can apply for a permit with the City of Boston Trust Office using their form. Call the number on the form for details, but build about 4 weeks into your planning process for this.

Boston Greenfest

"Nature Caught in a Legal Battle." Joe Kebartas spoke at Greenfest about the 210 acre Mary Cummings Park in Burlington and Woburn. This natural resource held in trust by Boston has great potential for public use and enjoyment, but is threatened with development outside of the intent of the trust. It is a well kept secret to most residents of the area. Learn how you can help protect and develop this resource for public use, as it was intended.

Mary Cummings Park is 210 acres of public park land which was given in trust to the City of Boston by Mary Cummings for the purpose of keeping the land forever open as a public pleasure ground. It offers fields, forests, trails, wetlands, and a variety of wildlife habitats.

The park is located just inside Route 128/95 in Burlington and Woburn. It is ideal for many activities, including hiking, foliage viewing, birding, nature walks, running, geocaching, picnics, photography, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, model airplane flying, and much more. Treat yourself to a visit to this wonderful natural resource and bring the family.
