This trail begins at the Fox Point Boat and Ferry dock. Imagine a peninsula extending into Boston Harbor with the University of Massachusetts and John F. Kennedy Presidential Library on it, all wrapped snuggly by the Boston Harbor Walk and Grace Trail. This Custom Grace Trail includes audio (QR codes on signs) from UMB professors and Executive Director of JFK Library.
What if you could ask some powerful questions from an inspirational point on earth . . . Would your answers be different? … Well, you’ll find out when you walk this trail!
The UMass Boston Harborwalk Grace Trail® was built by University of Massachusetts Boston students, staff, and faculty, as well as the Harbor Point community, for the enjoyment of our campus and surrounding neighborhoods.
UMass Boston’s Harbor Walk GRACE Trail provides a stress reducing and health promoting opportunity for individuals to complete a mindful walk. The trail includes maps, information, reflective questions, and small decorated cairns strategically placed along the trail to encourage personal growth and healing for a diverse community. Goals are to connect the Harbor Point community with a public trail that promotes increasing physical activity and mindfulness, add a stress management tool for students to support their academic success, and add official distance markers that coincide with the GRACE Trail to enhance its use for health, fitness, and wellness.
This trail embraces the perimeter of the campus along the harbor from the most beautiful Boston setting and most inspirational views possible. The energy of the harbor, the skyline, the harbor islands and all the wonderful people walking, feed your vitality and sense of curiosity.
UMass Boston Harborwalk Grace Trail® has been installed under a license Agreement from Grace Trail, Inc.
