Please join DCR Commissioner James Montgomery, EEA Assistant Secretary Kurt Gaetner, State Representative Kay Khan, Newton Mayor Ruth Fuller, and the Riverside Greenway Working Group (RGWG) to celebrate the restoration of the historic Pony Truss Trail completed In March 2021 with grants from the Mass DCR Recreational Trails Program and Solomon Foundation.

Since the 1850s the Pony Truss Bridge and Pony Truss Trail brought folks to the banks of the Charles River Lakes District to walk, boat, and enjoy the beauty of the Charles River. The restoration bridge in 2013 and the trail in 2021, together with planned trail connections over the next few years, will restore the legacy of “The Riverside Recreation Grounds” as the “Riverside Greenway”.
