The Esplanade Association (TEA) is a dynamic nonprofit collaboration of citizens working to protect,
restore, and beautify the Charles River Esplanade, a designated Boston Landmark. One
of the oldest, most dramatic, and most popular urban parks in the country,
the Esplanade comprises three miles of parkland stretching along the shore
of the Charles River from the Museum of Science to the Boston University
Bridge.
The Esplanade is the shared backyard of every resident in metropolitan Boston. Here, two million people a year walk, bird watch, play tennis, jog, bicycle, rollerblade, swing, walk their dogs, sunbathe, meditate, play chess, learn to sail, view fireworks, picnic, admire the scenery, read, hear concerts, play baseball, study, watch movies, and host family reunions. The Esplanade is where Boston celebrates the seasons, and TEA is dedicated to enhancing the park’s ability to serve them. To get a more in-depth look at who we are and how we help, review our history and our achievements. To join our efforts to keep the park vital, consider getting involved. Or if you’ve never visited the Esplanade, then survey the maps, cross a footbridge, and find out firsthand what we’re so passionate about.
“The Esplanade enriches our city in so many
important ways. Our work to restore the Esplanade reflects how much we value
this special park today and want to preserve it for future generations to
enjoy.”
