Horse-of-Course with Boston Park Rangers

Horse-of-Course with Boston Park Rangers

Come join a Boston Park Ranger and one of the mounted units from their herd for a ‘meet and greet.’ Learn about their role in the parks and how the rangers care for their mounted partners. These programs usually last from 30 minutes to an hour.

Horse-of-Course programs are a part of Boston’s park and recreation programs, which collectively are called ‘Hike Boston.’ However, Horse-of-Course is a stationary program without any hiking or walking.

Accessibility: This is a stationary program taking place on paved ground outside the Hunnewell Building.

Audience: This program is appropriate for all ages.

Directions

Learn about accessibility at the Arboretum.

in front of the Hunnewell Building

By subway

Take the MBTA Orange Line to its southern end—Forest Hills. Exit through the door marked “Arnold Arboretum,” cross Washington Street, and walk up Arborway to the Arboretum’s Forest Hills Gate on your left. To reach the Arboretum’s Arborway Gate and the Hunnewell Building, continue along the sidewalk on the Arborway to the Arborway Gate (about 12 minutes), or go through the gate, bear right at the pond, and continue to the Hunnewell Building, which will be on your left.

By bus

Take the #39 bus to the South Street @ Bardwell Street stop in Jamaica Plain. Walk down South Street away from Bardwell Street, take a right on Custer Street, and walk down Custer Street until it ends. Turn right and walk about 300 feet down Arborway to the Arboretum’s Arborway Gate, which will be across the street. The Hunnewell Building is just inside the gate on your right.

By car

There is public street parking on Arborway, including six designated accessible spots on either side of the gate. Parking on Arborway can sometimes fill up and you may need to walk a little ways from your parking spot to the gate. Please allow for extra time to account for this, especially during the spring and for large programs like lectures and performances.
