A gift from the Armenian American community to the City of Boston and the Commonwealth, Armenian Heritage Park on The Greenway is a source of pride to all Armenians. The Park celebrates the strength and resiliency of generations of Armenians who have immigrated to the US and of immigrants and refugees from throughout the world who have come here and contributed to American life and culture.
Armenian Heritage Park is an initiative of the Armenian Heritage Foundation, which includes representatives from Armenian American parishes and organizations in Massachusetts.
The Park is among the select few gathering sites on public land in the United States that commemorates the Armenian Genocide and celebrates the immigrant journey. Visitors travel from all over the world to visit this space where all come together on common ground, to remember, celebrate and honor.
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Armenian Heritage Park , consider a gift to support the Legacy Fund to ensure the Park’s impeccable care for years to come.
