HISTORIC MARKER
GET INVOLVED
Over 40 years ago, Isabella Halsted, who lived near the Charles River in Cambridge, had the vision to propose closing Memorial Drive to traffic on Sundays to create a peaceful place in which one could enjoy being by the historic river. Today, people from near and far continue to enjoy the closing of Memorial Drive on weekends between the last Sunday of April and mid-November. The 2023 Park hours are 11:00 am to 7:00 pm on Sundays.
