Get ready, Boston's older adults, because the "Forever Young" program is making a comeback this fall. The program, which is no stranger to those seeking a blend of leisure and activity under the open sky, offers a variety of outdoor pursuits from archery to bocce. The partnership between Boston Parks Department and Boston Centers for Youth & Families (BCYF) continues to thrive, aiming to foster not only physical fitness but also social ties within the community.
According to an announcement on the city's official website, boston.gov, the programs are set to run once a week on Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Starting next Friday, these recreational gatherings will be held at Langone Park, located at 529 Commercial Street in the North End, and they will continue until October 24. There's no need for pre-registration; locals can simply drop-in, enjoy the activities, and perhaps, leave with a new friendship forged.
For those interested in keeping abreast with the latest news and happenings in Boston parks, the department entices residents to stay connected. A call to (617) 635-4505, a visit to the website, or a quick subscribe to their email list provides updates on the fly. And for the socially savvy, following the department's social media presence @bostonparksdept on X, Facebook, and Instagram, and @parks.boston.gov on Bluesky ensures you're never out of the loop.
